Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) uses a pulsating electrical current to direct the movement of muscles, tendons and ligaments through the replication of the natural motor nerve impulses. FES has been shown to be the most effective type of electrical stimulation in reducing the stress and strain of training, as well as rehabilitating injuries. FES has produced dramatic improvements in human medicine for over 20 years and has been used in physical therapy, wound healing and spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
