Overview

Background: Hand dysfunction is one of the most disabling consequences of stroke and significantly limits independence in activities of daily living. Recovery of fine hand function remains incomplete in many patients despite conventional rehabilitation. By facilitating muscle activation and promoting neuroplasticity, Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has emerged as a promising intervention to enhance motor recovery. Objective: To investigate the effect of functional electrical stimulation on hand function in patients with subacute stroke.

Interventions

  • Device functional electrical stimulation
    this a device applied on specific muscles aiming to improve the hand functions
  • Other Conventional physiotherapy
    Conventional physiotherapy program including range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, and functional training for the upper limb.

Primary outcome measures

  • hand held dynamometer [Time frame: 2 weeks]
