For hand-focused FES training, what long-term effect has been reported?

• A. Improvement carried over 2 months after training
• B. No lasting improvement
• C. Worsening after training
• D. Immediate but temporary gains

Answer: (A)

Long-term gains from hand-focused FES training have been reported to persist after the training ends, with improvements carrying over for about two months. This suggests that the training encourages durable changes in how the hand is controlled, not just a temporary boost from stimulation. You may see immediate improvements during sessions, but the key point is that these gains can stay with the person even after the program ends, roughly two months later. The other options describe effects that are not supported by the reported findings: no lasting improvement, worsening after training, or only immediate but temporary gains during training.
