Abstract
Limitations of conventional rehabilitation of stroke victims have led to investigation of alternative techniques for treating neuromuscular dysfunction. This paper describes the treatment of a hemiplegic stroke victim using hypnosis. The subject regained full function of his leg and arm movements within 5 weeks, as well as improvement in facial muscle control.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
