FES THERAPY AFTER SCI: Functional, Physiological, Psychosocial, and Bioengineering Outcomes

Explore the power of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) therapy for individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Discover how FES can improve standing and walking abilities, promote nerve plasticity, and influence cortical organization post-injury.

  1. FES THERAPY AFTER SCI:Functional, Physiological, Psychosocial, and Bioengineering Outcomes

  2. Systems for Standing and Walking Janis Daly, PT, PhDFES in Children with SCITherese Johnston, PT, PhDThe Future: Biomedical Engineering in FES TechnologyArthur Prochazka, PhDWrap-up & DiscussionEdelle Field-Fote, PT, PhD

  3. Beyond simply being a mechanism to evoke a response… FES: stimulation to assist in the production of a functional activity Electrical stimulation can induce neural plasticity… …because electrical stimulation speaks the language of the nervous system

  4. Cortical Organization Becomes Abnormal after SCI Green JB et al. Neurology. 1998;50:1115-21.

  5. Cortical Mapping Hoffman LR, Field-Fote EC: Cortical reorganization following bimanual training and somatosensory stimulation in cervical spinal cord injury: a case report. Phys Ther. 2007;87:208-23.

  6. Even those with greatest deficits benefit from training
