Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •At least 24 stroke patients with upper limb difficulties will be recruited. The stroke subjects will be recruited from the neuro\-outpatient physiotherapy department at St. George's hospital, and the orthotics clinic at the Wolfson Neuro\-Rehabilitation Unit. They will also be identified on the stroke database.
Exclusion Criteria
- •1\. Receiving physiotherapy for the upper limb whilst involved in this study \- as this may influence the results
- •2\. More than 150 degrees flexion contracture of the paretic elbow joint \- as this would restrict their ability to turn the wheel
- •3\. Any other neuromusculoskeletal pathology severe enough to contribute to the paretic upper limb impairment and/or disability \- as this would influence results
- •4\. Unstable medical condition \- subjects should medically stable to participate
- •5\. Any contraindications to electrical stimulation i.e. pacemaker in situ (Chen et al; 1990\), heart arrhymias, pregnancy, superficial metal implants in the upper limb, cancerous tumour, broken or fragile skin in the areas where electrodes need to be placed (Baker et al. 1979a) known tape allergies, uncontrolled epilepsy \- this will rule out any potential adverse affects
