SUMMARY Objective. To verify the effectiveness of the FES applied in wrist and elbow extensors in chronic hemiparetic upper-extremity to improve power, spasticity, dynamic range of motion (ROM) and functionality. Method. This is a cases report, in that three subjects (two female and one male), presenting chronic upper limb hemiparesis and age range of 56 to 64 years were submitted a treatment with FES in wrist and elbow extensors simultaneously. This was applied during 30 minutes per day, two days of week, in a total of six weeks. As evaluation the measurement of upper-extremity power, ROM, spasticity and functionality was made before and after the treatment. A five weeks follow-up was carried too. Results. All the patients showed improvement in the upper limb power, ROM and functionality. Two subjects showed reduction in spasticity. Just the force wasn’t remained throughout follow-up period. Conclusion. The application of FES with simultaneous stimulation of wrist and elbow extensors revealed beneficial for func tional improvement of the chronic hemiparetic upper limb.
