👉👉 Hand, Arm, Shoulder Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) 👈👈
FES is a therapy technique that uses small, controlled electrical impulses to activate muscles and nerves that are not working effectively following neurological damage.
FES can be used to support movement, improve muscle activation, and assist with functional tasks, such as opening the hand, reaching, or maintaining joint alignment during activity. It may also be used to support motor re-learning when combined with active, task-specific practice.
Our therapists assess whether FES is appropriate for you and integrate it into your upper limb rehabilitation program where it aligns with your goals. FES is always used as a tool to support functional outcomes, rather than as a standalone treatment.
