Use of microstimulators to aid upper limb function in hemiplegia
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is used to facilitate movement in people who have suffered a central nervous system lesion such as a stroke. FES can be used as an orthosis, where muscles are activated in a precise sequence to assist in functional activities such as walking, or as a therapeutic strategy, aimed at improving impairments such as limited range of movement, weakness and spasticity, and hence enhance recovery (Chae and Yu, 1999).

Abstract
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is used to facilitate movement in people who have suffered a central nervous system lesion such as a stroke. FES can be used as an orthosis, where muscles are activated in a precise sequence to assist in functional activities such as walking, or as a therapeutic strategy, aimed at improving impairments such as limited range of movement, weakness and spasticity, and hence enhance recovery (Chae and Yu, 1999).
