Article: Contralaterally Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation for Recovery of Elbow Extension and Hand Opening After Stroke
I've become interested in FES with CVA patients and continue to read up on these studies so I may be able to use these techniques in the future. This article focuses on FES with patients with chronic UE hemiplegia and their outcomes based on the Fugl Meyer and Wolf Motor Function Test. Although this is a pilot study, it concluded that FES can decrease UE impairment, and gives support for larger studies to be conducted.
