One day a week i get to work in this awesome clinic. a number of awesome clients utilising the FES bike as rehab post stroke.
A Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) bike is a stationary exercise bike that uses electrical pulses to help people with limited or no voluntary leg movement pedal:
| How it works |
|---|
| Electrical pulses | Computer-generated electrical pulses are sent through surface electrodes to the leg muscles |
| Muscle contractions | The stimulated nerves activate the muscles, causing coordinated contractions and pedaling |
