First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether functional electrical stimulation (FES) can improve hand function in people who had a stroke 1–6 months ago. 40 adults aged 40–60 will receive either FES plus standard physiotherapy or physiotherapy alone. The main goal is to see if FES leads to stronger grip and better hand use.
