The reliability of the MoTaStim-Foot trial algorithm for testing touch pressure sensory threshold on the plantar surface of the foot using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Harding, O., Rousan, A., Aries, A., & Hunter, S. (2019, December). The reliability of the MoTaStim-Foot trial algorithm for testing touch pressure sensory threshold on the plantar surface of the foot using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. Presented at UK Stroke forum 2019, Telford, United Kingdom

Introduction: Approximately 60% of stroke survivors experience sensory impairment, which may have an impact on functional activity. The MoTaStim-Foot trial investigated the feasibility of delivering somatosensory interventions to the foot to regain b...
