Study on the Effects of an EMG-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulator for Upper Limb for Post-stroke Patients

간략 요약

Upper limb disabilities are among the most debilitating issues after a cerebral stroke. One promising approach in motor rehabilitation is the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES). This technique can be integrated into daily therapy to follow an adaptive approach, exploiting the residual capacities of patients. FES can help to stimulate the affected muscles, improve coordination and strengthen the weakened muscles, thus supporting the rehabilitation process.
