Effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation on Attentional Function: A Study on Healthy Young Participants

Abstract

Background: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) improves unilateral spatial neglect (USN). However, only few studies have reported on the relationship between FES and cognitive function. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of FES on attentional function in healthy participants using the Posner task, which is generally used to assess patients with USN.
