Multi-field Functional Electrical Stimulation for Distal Upper-limb Rehabilitation After Subacute Stroke: a Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and safety of multi-field FES-assisted therapy for hand rehabilitation in individuals with subacute stroke. A secondary, exploratory objective is to estimate preliminary effect sizes for distal upper-limb motor outcomes to inform the design of future adequately powered trials. Fesia Grasp rehabilitation will be compared with usual care rehabilitation of upper limb. * Experimental group: patients will receive Fesia Grasp therapy (intensive, repetitive and functional exercises assisted by functional electrical stimulation) * Control group - patients will receive standard care.
