Repetitive Arm Training + FES on Upper Extremity Motor Recovery in Sub-acute Stroke Survivors

Rehabilitation restores functions and reduces disabilities due to diseases sequelae. The relationship between intensity of rehabilitation and clinical outcomes, recently emphasized, has generated a great interest for technological high-intensity interventions. However, their effects compared to traditional interventions as well the involved biological mechanisms remain uncertain. The present Strategic Program aims to predict the treatment efficacy in specific rehabilitation profiles, to improve the use of \"targeted\" therapies and the individual management of patients affected by stroke and to transfer these findings into rehabilitative strategies.
