Apparatus for rehabilitating a patient who has a paretic body part, the apparatus comprising: a) at least one electromyography (EMG) sensor adapted to being applied to a voluntary muscle of a healthy body part of the same type as the paretic body part, which at least one sensor produces at least one EMG signal; b) a neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) device adapted for stimulating at least one voluntary muscle of the paretic body part; and c) a controller which controls the NMES device, making the amplitude of stimulation of the paretic body part at least partly dependent on the EMG signal from the healthy body part.

L'invention concerne un appareil de rééducation d'un patient ayant une partie du corps parétique, l'appareil comprenant: a) au moins un détecteur d'électromyographie (EMG) conçu pour être appliqué à un muscle volontaire d'une partie saine du corps du même type que la partie parétique du corps, lequel détecteur produit au moins un signal EMG; b) un dispositif de stimulation électrique neuromusculaire (NMES) conçu pour stimuler au moins un muscle volontaire de la partie parétique du corps; et c) un contrôleur lequel commande le dispositif NMES, rendant le degré de stimulation de la partie parétique du corps au moins partiellement dépendant du signal EMG provenant de la partie saine du corps.
