A system for neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy includes one or more sensors for sensing the position or the muscle contractions of a body part, such as an arm, hand, finger, leg, etc.； a stimulator in communication with the sensor or sensors； and two or more electrodes that can be positioned to activate the paralyzed body part. Based on signals from the one or more sensors, the stimulator can regulate the stimulation provided through the electrodes, including the intensity and duration of the electrical stimulation signal. The sensors can be assembled in a wearable article, such as a glove, sock, or sleeve, to monitor the position or muscle contractions of the healthy body part. The electrodes also may be assembled in a wearable device that allows customized placement of those electrodes.
