Summary
This study tested a treatment called functional electrical stimulation (FES) to improve arm function in young children (ages 3-6) who had a stroke around birth. FES uses small electrical currents to activate weak muscles, helping children practice reaching and grasping. The study compared FES to standard arm therapy in 11 children and measured changes in arm movement quality and daily use.
