Trial name or title Treatment of stroke‐induced spastic hemiparesis with EMG‐triggered electrostimulation.
Methods  
Participants 44 participants, 24 male. Mean age 59 (8.3) years. Mean time after stroke 6 (1 to 9) weeks.
Interventions Experimental 1: 
 Category = 5. 
 Electrostimulation triggered by participant's EMG activity. All participants also received control intervention. 
 Experimental 2: 
 Category = 7. 
 Electrostimulation without any muscle activity by the participant. All participants also received the control intervention. 
 Control: 
 Physio and ergo therapy.
Outcomes (1) Pendulum test upper and lower extremities; (2) Ashworth scores upper and lower extremities; (3) Contraction capacity upper and lower extremities; (4) Barthel Index; (5) FIM score.
Starting date Paper reporting progress on the trial was published in 1997.
Contact information First author as given on 1997 paper.
