FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation)

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a rehabilitation technique that uses small electrical currents to stimulate muscles in people with paralysis or weakened muscle function. By sending these electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin, FES helps activate specific muscles, enabling movements such as standing or grasping. This therapy can improve mobility, reduce muscle atrophy, and enhance daily living activities. FES is often used in physical therapy to aid recovery after injuries or neurological conditions like stroke or spinal cord injury, helping patients regain function and improve their quality of life.
