What this Trial Is About
Associative Peripheral Stimulation (APS) is a non-invasive therapy intended for stroke rehabilitation involving transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation paired with voluntary movement. This pilot study investigates whether APS applied during the acute phase of stroke recovery may reduce impairment and improve function in the affected upper extremity.
