Objective. To determine, through a systematic review of the literature, whether Functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to the paretic upper limb is able to improve the functional performance of individuals with chronic stroke. Method. Original articles published from 2000 to 2014 (February) were analyzed. PEDro Scale was used to assess the methodological quality of randomized clinical trials, and a classification by level of evidence was adopted to summarize the results of the review. Results. Eight studies were included in this systematic review, six of which had high methodological quality, with scores above five in the Scale PEDro. Studies have shown strong evidence of improved functional performance, especially in manual dexterity. Conclusion. FES proved to be a positive intervention capable of improving the functional motor recovery of hemiparetic subjects with chronic stroke. However, double-blind studies with greater statistical rigor should be conducted in order to further enhance the methodological quality of clinical trials.
