Background: Literature shows that intensive Functional Electrical Stimulation facilitates upper limb motor recovery after Stroke. Aim: To assess the effects of 4 weeks of FES therapy on right upper limb motor functions in patient with Chronic Stroke. Materials and Methods: The participant was thirty year old male Right Hemiparesis who had experienced Chronic Ischemic Stroke. FES therapy was given for forty five minutes per session, three sessions a week for complete four weeks. The pre and post intervention score were measured with Fugl Meyer Assessment, Voluntary Control Grading and MAS. Results: The Fugl Meyer Assessment score for right upper limb showed improvement with progression in stage of VCG for right upper limb and hand. Also improved MAS score was noted for right shoulder, elbow and hand muscles. Conclusion: The current study confirms that application of FES therapy improves upper limb motor functions in Chronic stage of Stroke after 4 weeks.

AbstractThis study was performed to evaluate the effects of Mirror therapy combined with EMG-triggered Functional Electrical Stimulation on upper extremity function in patient with Chronic Stroke. A total of 24 chronic stroke patients were divided into 3 groups. Group I (n=8) was given with traditional physical therapy (TPT), group II (n=7) was given with traditional physical therapy and mirror therapy (MT), and group III (n=9) was given with traditional physical therapy and mirror therapy in conjunction with EMG-triggered Functional Electrical Stimulation (EMGFES-MT). Each group performed one hour a day 5 times a week for 6 weeks.We obtained the following result between before and after treatments about changes of elbow flexion muscle strength (EFMS), elbow extension muscle strength (EEMS), wrist flexion muscle strength (WFMS), wrist extension muscle strength (WEMS), elbow flexion range of motion (EFROM), elbow extension range of motion (EEROM), wrist flexion range of motion (WFROM), wrist extension range of motion (WEROM), grip strength (GS) and upper extremity function.Each group showed a significant difference in EFMS, EEMS, WFMS, WEMS, EFROM, EEROM, WFROM, WEROM, GS and upper extremity function (p<0.05) EMFES-MT group revealed significant differences in EEMS, WEROM, grip strength and upper extremity function as compared to the other groups (p<0.05). No difference was found in the change of spasticity among the 3 groups.Our results showed that EMFES-MT was more effective on elbow, WFMS, WEMS, AROM, grip strength and upper extremity function in patients with chronic stroke. We suggest that this study will be able to be used as an intervention data for recovering upper extremity function in chronic stroke patients

Muscle Spasticity

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) allows active exercises for correction of foot drop in stroke patients. Our objective is to evaluate and compare the effects of FES therapy in walking ability, calf muscle spasticity, and lower-extremity motor recovery between subacute and chronic stroke patients. Twenty consecutive hemiplegic patients having foot drop were assigned either to subacute or chronic group. Both group subjects were treated with conventional rehabilitation program combined with FES therapy for 12 weeks. All subjects received the electrical stimulation to the peroneal nerve of paretic limb for 15–30 min while walking.After being treated with FES-based rehabilitation program, subacute subjects showed a mean increase in walking speed of 31.3% and chronic subjects of 19.1% and the physiological cost index (PCI), with a reduction of 66.7% in subacute subjects and 46.4% in chronic subjects between the beginning and end of the trial. Improvement was also measured in gait parameters such as cadence, step and stride lengths, ankle joint range of motion (ROM), calf muscle spasticity, and lower-extremity motor recovery assessed by Fugl-Meyer score in both group subjects, but subacute subjects improved better compared with chronic subjects. In conclusion, early and intensive interventions of FES therapy combine with conventional rehabilitation program could significantly improve the waking ability and recovery of lower-extremity motor functions in stroke survivors.
