Functional electrical stimulation (FES) Cycling is a well-researched modality with long-term benefits for those recovering from a spinal cord injury. Users can actively exercise the large muscles of the legs despite paralysis.[1][2]. Although there are some contraindications, it is a safe and effective technique for many and is used by hundreds of our clients who use these systems at home. After some 18 years of experience in the UK, we still find that this is a well-accepted and popular technique, with adoption primarily limited by the cost of the systems.

With the introduction of the new Stim2Go stimulator from Pajunk at the core of our UK FES bike offering, we’re unlocking exciting new possibilities thanks to its innovative and promising features.

In other articles, we have commented on particular features and benefits of the Stim2Go, including its ability to turn any passive-active bike into an FES cycling system. In this article, we're primarily focusing on applying tSCS within Stim2Go.

Rehabilitation technology is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, driven by innovative solutions that prioritise adaptability and personalised care. This article explores how cutting-edge advancements, like Stim2Go, redefine therapy by aligning with the natural dynamics of the human body. By shifting from traditional, one-size-fits-all methods to highly individualised approaches, we are entering a new era of recovery that holds profound implications for patients and clinicians alike.

n this article, we showcase the arrival of a new product called Stim2Go, which promises to open up the availability of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Cycling to a much wider group (and do some other clever things, too).

PAJUNK GmbH, one of the global market leaders in regional anaesthesia, has introduced the Stim2Go worldwide. The product' was developed and operated by another German company, SensorStim Neurotechnology GmbH. The product has regulatory approval in the USA and is now available in Europe and the UK as a registered medical device.

The introduction of Stim2Go provides a more accessible and efficient solution for (FES) cycling because it allows the user to add this capability to just about any passive/active bike such as the Thera Trainer range.

Home-based functional electrical stimulation (hbFES) is revolutionizing the treatment of complete lower motor neuron denervation injuries. Once considered an inevitable path to muscle deterioration, new research and clinical evidence show that properly timed and calibrated electrical stimulation can not only preserve muscle tissue but actually promote structural recovery. At Anatomical Concepts, we work with the RISE Stimulator from Schuhfried Medizintechnik GmbH, enabling clients to take control of their rehabilitation journey from home. This innovative approach has demonstrated remarkable results, including significant increases in muscle cross-sectional area and force output, challenging long-held assumptions about the irreversibility of denervation effects.

Curious about the science behind neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in rehabilitation? In our latest article, we dive deep into how this established yet evolving technology effectively strengthens skeletal muscles.

From optimal stimulation parameters to clinical applications, discover why the "art" of electrical stimulation goes far beyond simply making muscles contract. Drawing from recent research and clinical evidence, we explore the mechanisms, effectiveness, and practical considerations for healthcare professionals working with neurological injuries and various rehabilitation scenarios.

Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or rehabilitation specialist, this comprehensive review offers valuable insights into maximizing NMES outcomes for patient care.

In this article, we step back and consider how brachial plexus injuries are treated and then look at how forms of electrical stimulation might contribute to achieving the best clinical outcome.

Brachial plexus injuries present a complex challenge in medical practice, with the potential to produce significant functional impairment and reduced quality of life. Effective treatment requires a meticulous, multifaceted approach, combining surgical and non-surgical interventions tailored to the patient's specific needs. This article explores current treatment strategies, focusing on the potential role of electrical stimulation as a complementary therapy. By examining its applications and efficacy, we aim to highlight how this innovative technique could enhance recovery and optimise clinical outcomes for individuals affected by these injuries.
