IC18: An Electrifying Introduction to the Use of Functional Electrical Stimulation in Neurorehabilitation: A Hands-on Approach

from ACRM

IC18: An Electrifying Introduction to the Use of Functional Electrical Stimulation in Neurorehabilitation: A Hands-on Approach ACRM Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is an evidenced-based approach to the training of functional movements. A lack of knowledge and hands-on training in FES is a key barrier to its use in neurorehabilitation practice. This course will help clinicians: 1) understand the different electrical stimulation parameters and how each affects the neurophysiological response; 2) effectively manipulate stimulation parameters; and 3) apply one- and two-channel surface FES to the upper and lower extremities of adults and children with upper motor neuron lesions. This course is relevant to physical and occupational therapists, therapy assistants, physicians and nurses, as well as researchers with an interest in the clinical applications of FES. READ MORE
