Clinical Question: |
Does functional electrical stimulation prevent shoulder subluxation in hemiplegic stroke patients compared to conventional physiotherapy and occupational therapy? |
| |
|
Clinical Scenario: |
N / A |
| |
|
Clinical Bottom Line: |
The use of functional electrical stimulation resulted in significantly less shoulder subluxation than conventional physical and occupational therapy in hemiplegic stroke patients over a 4-week trial, when provided within 48 hours post-CVA. This effect was not maintained, however, once treatment ceased. |
