Abstract

Introduction. Among the various therapeutic resources used for the rehabilitation of sequel resulting from stroke, functional electrical stimulation (FES) stands out. However, little is known about its application to spastic musculature, highlighting the importance of contrasting different forms of use. Objective. Contrast the methods of application of FES in the agonist and antagonist muscles in spastic upper limbs. Method. This study was composed of 6 participants, who received sequentially the placebo interventions, FES in spastic brachial biceps and FES in brachial triceps, in two phases of treatment, immediate and late. The evaluations were performed by way of Electromyography, Modified Ashworth Scale and Fugl Meyer Assessment. Results. In both immediate and late stages no significant results were found in the pre- and post-treatment evaluations of each intervention, neither after treatment in the comparison between interventions. Conclusion. There was no difference between the applications of FES in the agonist and antagonist muscles in spastic upper limbs.
