Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) uses carefully controlled electrical currents to activate nerves in extremities affected by paralysis. This advanced rehabilitation technique helps restore function in people with disabilities caused by spinal cord injuries, head injuries, stroke, or neurological disorders. Also known as NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation), FES can dramatically improve quality of life.
Controlled electrical currents are delivered to affected nerves and muscles through electrodes placed on the skin.
The stimulation bypasses damaged neural pathways to directly activate muscles, restoring movement and function.
With training and practice, FES can help restore walking ability and improve overall functional independence.
FES helps stroke survivors regain movement and control in affected limbs, improving functional independence and quality of life.
For those with spinal cord injuries, FES can restore stepping and walking function, enabling greater independence and mobility.
FES can benefit patients with various neurological conditions affecting movement and muscle function.
