One fair quality RCT (Kobayashi et al., 1999) investigated the effect of FES on shoulder strength among patients with chronic stroke. The fair quality RCT randomized patients with shoulder subluxation to receive FES to the supraspinatus muscle (FES-S), FES to the deltoid muscle (FES-D) or no FES. All patients received conventional physical therapy that included neuromuscular facilitation, joint mobilization and muscle stretching. FES was applied at 20Hz for 5-15 minutes, 2 times/day, 5 days/week for 6 weeks. The group that received FES-D demonstrated a significant improvement in maximum active abduction force at post-treatment. The other groups showed no significant improvement in maximum active abduction force.
