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.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Hemiparesis
  • Hemiplegia

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrical stimulator

• 12-week intervention 1. Therapist-guided task practice performed twice a week in the research laboratory. (Device used for CCFES group but not for cNMES group during these sessions.) 2. Self-administered CCFES or cNMES-mediated hand opening exercise performed 10 sessions per week at home.
