Study on the Effects of an EMG-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulator for Upper Limb for Post-stroke Patients
Pilot Study on the Effects Induced by an Electromyographic-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulator (FitFES) for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Post-stroke Patients

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Upper limb disabilities are among the most debilitating issues after a cerebral stroke. One promising approach in motor rehabilitation is the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES). This technique can be integrated into daily therapy to follow an adaptive approach, exploiting the residual capacities of patients. FES can help to stimulate the affected muscles, improve coordination and strengthen the weakened muscles, thus supporting the rehabilitation process.
