First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation (gentle electrical pulses to muscles) with task-oriented training (practicing everyday movements) could improve arm and hand function in stroke survivors. 45 people who had a stroke 6 to 24 months earlier took part. Researchers measured changes in movement quality, spasticity, and coordination before and after the therapy.
