Details and patient eligibility

About

There are different methods in stroke rehabilitation. In addition to conventional techniques, functional electric stimulation with bicycle ergometer therapy and mirror therapy can be used. In this study, we will compare functional electric stimulation with bicycle ergometer therapy and mirror therapy in stroke patients.

Full description

Aim of study is to compare functional electric stimulation with bicycle ergometer therapy and mirror therapy applied to lower extremity in stroke patients.
