FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) cycling

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) cycling is a therapy that uses small electrical impulses to activate muscles in the legs, enabling individuals with impaired mobility to pedal a stationary or specialized bicycle. This technique stimulates the muscles to produce movement, helping improve circulation, muscle strength, and motor function. FES cycling is often used for people with spinal cord injuries or neurological conditions, providing a safe way to engage muscles that might otherwise remain inactive. It combines technology and exercise to promote physical health, assist rehabilitation, and enhance quality of life.
