FES Cycle
Scientists recently discovered that physical, neurological and functional improvements can occur even long after the nervous system is damaged.
Restorative Therapy uses a combination of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and motor-assisted activity to enable patients to undertake clinic, home or gym therapy sessions regularly and thereby increase physical and neural activity in injured regions of the body. The science research indicates that repetitive neural activity stimulates cell growth in the central nervous system. The FES cycle is a vital piece of Recovery equipment and is installed in the leading Recovery Centres across the World.
Increasing activity levels can help to improve overall health, cardiovascular fitness and blood circulation, range of motion, and flexibility. Activity can also raise energy levels, help reduce spasticity, decrease muscle atrophy, and assist with the performance of activities of daily living.
Another important component of the FES cycle is the convenience and praciticality of installing an FES cycle at home.
