Functional electrical stimulation (FES) restores lost functions using electrical impulses. This review covers current FES methods, clinical applications, and expected benefits for sensor, skeleto-motor, and autonomic functions.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Electrical stimulation has diverse healthcare applications, including diagnosis, therapy, and functional restoration.
  • Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and functional neurostimulation (FNS) are key terms for restoring lost or damaged functions.
  • FES is categorized by purpose: restoring sensor, skeleto-motor, or autonomic functions, with cognitive restoration as a future possibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current methods and devices for Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES).
  • To outline the expected results and benefits of available FES technologies.
  • To emphasize clinical applications and relevant anatomical/neurophysiological considerations in FES.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) methods and devices.
