Objective : This study is executed to test research on how to apply functionally electric stimulation therapy for improving upper extremity of domestic patients. We performed systematic consideration for it.
Methods : From January in 2000 to April in 2013, we had been searching for essays posted on academic thesises and journals through Korea National Research Information and using many main key-words such as functional electrical stimulation therapy, FES, stroke.
Researchs : There were in total the sixty subjects in each of two trials among which had been investigated and their each group had approximately more than twenty subjects and else had less than twenty, which did not present high level of reason. There was no randomized trial in study design of each essay and there were in total the eight Non-RCT among all. Aside from them, every study was to compare pre-post therapy of single group, which were five in total. Among all which had been examined, two studies were evaluated to be reasonable because the number of n obtained more than twenty and other all studies showed two of internal validity and external validity of c. As effects gained from therapy that had been applied, 12 out of 13 studies mentioned functional development of upper extremity or hands and there was muscular improvement mentioned in six, and increment of ROM in five. For else as effect shown from functional electrical stimulation therapy, there was activity of the cerebral cortex in two, reduction of rigidity in one, change of ability to perform in daily basis mentioned in one.
Conclusion : In future study, there should be constant study on therapeutic effect through investigative examination and acquirement of many groups of subject. What is more, the study on many clinical possibilities of functional electrical stimulation therapy.
