Effectiveness of Contralaterally Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation versus Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Upper Limb Motor Functional Recovery in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Table 2

Changes from baseline to end of intervention in functional assessments and sEMG.

	CCFES () ()	NMES () ()	Difference between groups (mean, 95% CI)	value
ARAT	^^		5.44 (-1.0, 11.89)	0.096
FMA-UE	^^	^^	1.76 (-2.65, 6.17)	0.43
Barthel Index	^^	^^	2 (-4.63, 8.63)	0.553
RMS of paretic extensor carpi radialis	^^		0.09 (0.01, 0.16)	0.026
CCR of paretic flexor carpi radialis			-0.04 (-0.07, 0.15)	0.491

^The difference between end of treatment and baseline is statistically significant, . The difference between the CCFES and NMES groups is statistically significant.
