In the researchers' words
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is the leading cause of disability. Currently, a large number of novel treatments are emerging with the aim of recovering the highest functionality and quality of life for these patients, including Robot Assisted Therapy (RAT) and functional electrostimulation (FES). The aim of this study is to observe the effect of FES with respect to conventional treatment and RAT for the improvement of motor function of the upper limb. For this purpose, a clinical trial will be carried out in which participants will be divided into two groups, a first group that will receive conventional treatment together with RAT and FES and a second group that will only receive conventional treatment combined with RAT. The hypothesis of the research group is that the group receiving conventional treatment together with RAT and FES will obtain greater improvements in motor function.
