Functional Electro-Myo-Stimulation (FES)

Functional Electro-Myo-Stimulation (FES) is a therapy that uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate specific muscles, encouraging them to contract and move. This technique helps restore or improve movement in individuals with neurological impairments, such as after a stroke or spinal cord injury. By activating muscles in a coordinated way, FES can support tasks like walking or grasping, promoting neuroplasticity and muscle strength. It’s a safe, targeted approach that enhances functional abilities and can supplement traditional rehabilitation.
