Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a wearable device called FitFES that uses gentle electrical stimulation to help your arm muscles work better during rehabilitation exercises after a stroke. The device reads signals from your muscles and provides support tailored to what your arm can already do. Researchers want to see if using this device during therapy helps you regain more arm strength and movement than standard rehabilitation alone.
Many stroke survivors struggle to regain full arm function even with traditional therapy. This treatment aims to bridge that gap by helping your brain and muscles communicate better during recovery, potentially improving your results.

You will attend 15 rehabilitation sessions where you perform arm exercises designed to improve strength and movement. If you are in the treatment group, you will wear the FitFES device during these sessions to provide electrical stimulation support; if you are in the comparison group, you will do the same exercises without the device. Before your first session and after your last session, you will be assessed to measure how much your arm function has improved.
