Pilot Study of Usability and Acceptability for the Optimization of a Functional Electrical Stimulator Controlled by Electromyographic Signal for the Rehabilitation of the Upper Limb in Persons Post-stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EMG-based FES device for Stroke and Healthy Health Care Professionals. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Functional recovery of the upper limb after a cerebral stroke is one of the major critical issues in rehabilitation. The advent of innovative technologies can be helpful to rehabilitators and intervene where there is no other solution but a clear therapeutic indication. The use of functional electrostimulators can actively and functionally support movements, helping people affected by stroke to complete a motor gesture taking into account their residual capacities.
