La stimulation électrique est une technique efficace pour moduler et évoquer des réponses motrices. Elle inclut notamment la stimulation électrique fonctionnelle [...], la stimulation électrique épidurale [...], la stimulation cérébrale profonde [...], et l'ICMS [microstimulation intracorticale]. Ces technologies de neurostimulation ont mené au développement de neuroprothèses motrices qui visent principalement à soutenir les fonctions motrices par la stimulation électrique des muscles, des nerfs périphériques, de la moelle épinière ou du cerveau après un accident vasculaire cérébral ou une LME [lésion de la moelle épinière]. 1, record 1, French, - neuroproth%C3%A8se%20motrice
