Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a technique in which low level electrical impulses are applied through electrodes to nerves or muscles in order to restore the lost functions in patients with neuromuscular disorders or Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Commercial FES systems are currently being ev...
