First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested a treatment called functional electrical stimulation (FES) in 11 children aged 3-6 who had a stroke around birth and have trouble using one arm. FES uses small electrical currents to help weak muscles move, allowing kids to practice reaching and grasping. The goal was to see if FES works better than standard arm therapy for improving everyday arm function.
