investigation of electrical stimulation induced changes in nerves and muscles in individuals with post stroke paralysis

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: **the main purpose of our study is to examine the Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) induced effects in the neuromuscular tissues (nerves and muscles); functional activities, muscle firing and spasticity in the post stroke hemiparetic individuals. The second purpose of our study is to correlate the FES induced effects in the neuromuscular tissues with the functional activities, muscle firing and spasticity in the upper extremity of post stroke hemiparetic individuals.**

**Alternate:**Functional Electrical Stimulation Produces Significant effects in Neuromuscular tissues and Functional Activities in post stroke hemiparetic individuals

**Null Hypothesis:** There is no significant effect of Functional Electrical Stimulation in

Neuromuscular tissues and Functional Activities in post stroke hemiparetic individuals
