Functional Electrical Stimulators
Functional Electrical Stimulators direct electrical stimulation to nerves of paralyzed muscles. When the brain cannot transmit a signal to the lower extremities due to a disease process, stroke or spinal cord injury, this device can be used to artificially create the signal for the muscles to fire at the appropriate time during the gait cycle.
