OT and Functional Electrical Stimulation
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is one of those topics that we need to be keeping up with as OT practitioners, in part because there are some very compelling stories about its use that our patients may be encountering.
This week's article gives us a helpful update on what we know (and don't know) about FES, and its use in a comprehensive stroke program.
To join the conversation, please sign up for the OT Potential Club!
