FES and Peripheral Nerve Injuries: Exploring Benefits of Functional Electrical Stimulation
In this article we explain why functional electrical stimulation (FES) is an effective technique in enhancing functional recovery in patients with peripheral nerve injuries. The technique can improve muscle activation, prevent muscle atrophy, enhance muscular endurance and strength, and assist in nerve and axonal regeneration.
FES is a generally safe, non-pharmacologic intervention without significant side-effects, which adds an essential therapeutic option to neurological physiotherapy.
With muscle denervation the FES is designed to work directly with muscle fibre and not rely on the local nerve structure for success.
Further studies on FES are necessary to comprehend the scope, limitations, and best methodology. Programmes need to be customised for each user.
