•first diagnosis of stroke or traumatic brain injury
•-weakness of wrist and finger extensors (inability to extend wrist fully in a gravity eliminated position)
•-presence of reduced flexibility, spasticity (Tardieu scale score >1) or dystonia in the wrist and finger flexor muscles
•-inpatient rehabilitation stay anticipated to be of at least 4 weeks
•-ability to participate in a splinting regimen and an electrical stimulation programme
•-passive wrist extension to at least neutral with fingers extended (ie. able to place the hand with wrist in neutral and fingers extended on a flat surface)
•-informed consent from the participants or their person responsible

•medical conditions that limit compliance with a hand splint or electrical stimulation;
•recent wrist or finger fractures; fixed flexion deformities in the individual finger joints; previous wrist problems that limit passive wrist range of motion.
