The Effects of Accelerometer Triggered Functional Electrical Stimulation on Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Shoulder Subluxation

This study is randomized controlled trial performed by Random permuted blocks. This study has 2 experimental groups and 1 control group. Both experimental group receive FES treatment of their posterior deltoid and supraspinatus. Experimental group 1(Acceleration group) uses Novastim CU FS1 once a day for 30 minutes during 3 weeks. During treatment patient give a maximal effort for shoulder abduction. Experimental group 2 (Convention group) receive cyclic FES treatment for reducing shoulder subluxation. All patients have evaluation pre-intervention, post-intervention, 3 weeks after intervention and 9 weeks after intervention including physical examination and x-ray.
