Functional Electrostimulation on the Upper Lip in Multiple Sclerosis
Sponsor: Universidad de Burgos
Summary
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where immune cells attack the body, triggering an inflammatory response. A study comparing multifield FES and conventional FES on upper extremity motor skills and functional independence in MS patients will be conducted. Results suggest that both types of FES treatments normalize muscle tone, showing superior results compared to those without FES therapy. The study aims to compare the effects of both types on MS patients.

Interventions
Fesia Grasp
The Fesia Grasp device is based on the superficial electrical stimulation of the forearm musculature to provoke flexion and extension movements of the wrist, thumb, index finger and fingers 3, 4 and 5.
GLOBUS ELITE
is an electro-stimulator designed for sport and fitness, but with special attention also for beauty treatments thanks to the new sequential stimulation currents, excellent for their draining effects.
