Post stroke hemiplegia patient have shoulder subluxation in affected side. The investigators use functional electrical stimulation in posterior deltoid and supraspinatus for prevention and treatment. But the investigators hypothesis self triggered myoelectric stimulation system has more effective for shoulder subluxation. The purpose of this study is to compare post-stroke shoulder subluxation treatment FES and triggered FES.

This study is randomized controlled trial performed by Random permuted blocks. This study has 2 experimental groups and 1 control group. Both experimental group receive FES treatment of their posterior deltoid and supraspinatus. Experimental group 1(Acceleration group) uses Novastim CU FS1 once a day for 30 minutes during 3 weeks. During treatment patient give a maximal effort for shoulder abduction. Experimental group 2 (Convention group) receive cyclic FES treatment for reducing shoulder subluxation. All patients have evaluation pre-intervention, post-intervention, 3 weeks after intervention and 9 weeks after intervention including physical examination and x-ray.
