Summary
This pilot study tested a device called Fesia Grasp that uses electrical stimulation to help people recovering from a stroke regain hand function. Sixteen participants with arm weakness after a subacute stroke received either Fesia Grasp therapy or standard physical therapy. The main goals were to see if the device was safe, easy to use, and acceptable to patients.
