Improving hand movement after stroke with functional electrical stimulation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Participants aged 40–60 in the subacute phase after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke will receive functional electrical stimulation alongside conventional physiotherapy to target impaired hand function. The intervention is intended to facilitate muscle activation and promote neuroplasticity to aid recovery of fine motor control that often remains incomplete after standard rehabilitation. Individuals with severe cognitive impairment or pronounced spasticity are excluded to ensure safety and the ability to participate. Outcomes will focus on changes in fine hand motor tasks and independence in activities of daily living.
