Abstract
The need for rehabilitation arises from injuries and diseases that impair movement and independence. Traumas, accidents, and neurological or degenerative disorders- such as stroke, spinal cord, and brain injuries- are major causes of long-term disability, often resulting in partial or total loss of motor control. Stroke, in particular, is among the leading causes of disability worldwide, frequently affecting upper-limb functionality and limiting patients' autonomy. Rehabilitation thus plays a crucial role in restoring motor abilities and promoting recovery through targeted and personalized interventions. In recent decades, alongside the rapid development of technology and computer science, physical rehabilitation has increasingly benefited from advanced tools that support clinical practice.
Among these, one of the most relevant is Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), which uses low-energy electrical pulses to retrain- or, in same case, restore- functional mobility in patients with neuromuscular disorders
