Functional Impact of Paired Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Upper and Lower Extremity Recovery in Chronic Stroke

Learning Objectives:

• Articulate the clinical benefits of paired vagus nerve stimulation on upper extremity function and functional mobility in chronic ischemic stroke.
• Implement intensive and task specific paired vagus nerve stimulation therapies in the clinical outpatient setting to obtain salient patient outcomes after chronic ischemic stroke.
• Facilitate an interdisciplinary application of paired vagus nerve stimulation to maximize functional outcomes.
