Acute Effects of Wearable Electrical Stimulation in Stroke
Investigation of the Acute Effects of Wearable Electrical Stimulation on Spasticity, Upper and Lower Extremity Functions, and Gait in Individuals With Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit Wearable Electrical Stimulation works to reduce spasticity and improve functional capacity in individuals with stroke. It will also evaluate the acute (immediate) effects of the intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does wearable electrical stimulation reduce the severity of spasticity in participants? 2. Does wearable electrical stimulation improve upper extremity performance, balance, and gait in participants? 3. What impact does the intervention have on pain, fatigue, and overall satisfaction? Researchers will compare the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit treatment to a control group (who will wear the same suit but receive minimal electrical stimulation only on the neck and unaffected extremities) to see if it is effective in stroke rehabilitation. Participants will: * Wear the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit and receive either the prescribed therapeutic level or a minimal level of electrical stimulation for a single 1-hour session. * Undergo clinical assessments (e.g., MAS, gait tests, functional mobility scales) administered by researchers immediately before and immediately after the application to evaluate spasticity, pain, fatigue, balance, gait, and hand functions.
