Effectiveness of Functional Electric Stimulation With Bicycle Ergometer and Mirror Therapy in Stroke Patients Lower Extremity

There are different methods in stroke rehabilitation. In addition to conventional techniques, functional electric stimulation with bicycle ergometer therapy and mirror therapy can be used. In this study, we will compare functional electric stimulation with bicycle ergometer therapy and mirror therapy in stroke patients.
