Abstract: In recent years, neuro-electrophysiological techniques, as objective evaluation methods, have been gradually used in functional evaluation, guiding clinical rehabilitation programs and judging prognosis after stroke. They were proved to judge the integrity of central nervous system and conduction function and evaluate neuromuscular function. Nerve conduction, needle electromyography, H reflex, F wave, sympathetic skin response, motor-evoked potentials, somatosensory-evoked potentials, brain stem auditory-evoked potentials and surface electromyography were reviewed in this article.

Key words: stroke, neuro-electrophysiology, electromyography, motor-evoked potentials, somatosensory-evoked potentials, neuromuscular function, review
