Abstract

Owing to the after-effects of stroke, people with severe hemiplegia in the upper limbs who live at home are no longer used by the experience of paralysis. If the paralysed upper limb is not used, posture imbalance easily occurs, and the risk of falling is high. The use of the paralysed upper limb for daily activities is one of the basic problems in such patient. The objective of this study was to develop a programme that combines the purposeful activities and electrostimulation therapy at day care centre so as to promote the transition from useless upper limb to auxiliary upper limb. This report is a case study of purpose-based electrostimulation therapy administered to patients in a day care centre who had chronic severe hemiplegia in the upper limbs.
