The Rock Fitness charity organization cooperates with British outpatient centers to offer new therapy options for patients with disabilities and chronic illnesses. One of the beneficial and effective treatments for paralyzed patients with neurological disorders is Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). Therapist in the British outpatient center Physio Prime are using FES for different applications since many years to support muscle functions of paralyzed extremities.
Certainly, therapy and treatment differs for every client. For instance FES is regularly used to increase mobility for some, including Trevor Bickerstaff, who has been in a wheelchair for years since he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
