Abstract
Long a staple in physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics, functional electrical stimulation (FES) is experiencing a resurgence as it rides a wave of new technologies into new therapeutic uses. Mobilizing recalcitrant limbs and re-educating damaged nerves, FES is being deployed to assist with gait and balance, correct sleep apnea, and teach stroke patients how to swallow again.
