Contralaterally Controlled FES for Chronic Arm/Hand Hemiplegia: Single-Site RCT
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Electrical stimulator for Stroke and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Impaired hand function is one of the most frequently persisting consequences of stroke. The purpose of this study is to compare two different treatments -- Contralataterally Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation (CCFES) and Cyclic Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (cNMES) -- for improved recovery of hand function after stroke.
