Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a technique that uses electrical currents to stimulate nerves in order to produce muscular contractions in individuals with neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or multiple sclerosis. This technology can help individuals regain lost motor function, improve muscle strength, and enhance movement control. FES can be applied to various muscle groups in the body to assist with activities such as walking, grasping objects, or standing up. Research in FES focuses on improving the effectiveness of stimulation techniques, developing new applications of FES, and optimizing rehabilitation strategies for individuals with neurological impairments.
