| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are still unsolved areas on regeneration mechanism of peripheral neuropathy caused by leprosy.There are two elements for the purpose of this study. The first element is to identify Leprosy-specific sequelae of nerve damage using Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV). The second is to research whether strengthening residual nerve and muscle using Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) will lead to functional improvement.
Up to the present date, the measurement revealed some interesting results including a case of a decline in NCV without any mobility or sensory disorder, and a case of normal NCV but decrease in sensation.As of June 2015, however, the data collection is interrupted due to the problem with the measurement device.
