Intervention Type: Other, Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Background: Hand dysfunction is one of the most disabling consequences of stroke and significantly limits independence in activities of daily living. Recovery of fine hand function remains incomplete in many patients despite conventional rehabilitation. By facilitating muscle activation and promoting neuroplasticity, Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has emerged as a promising intervention to enhance motor recovery.
Objective: To investigate the effect of functional electrical stimulation on hand function in patients with subacute stroke.
