Nowadays due to lot of accidents , industrial accidents , burns, cut injuries, most commonly cerebro vascular accidents like stroke, etc leads to affect the central nervous system which causes paralysed limbs. Once upon a time there is no other chance to get recover those kind of weaknesses, But Nowadays our medical technology is well developed like other technologies and it has lot of technologiese to recover from this paralysis. One of the most popular Technology for STROKE is Functional Electrical Stimulation.
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a low energy electrical pulses by use of low frequency currents used to generate body movements in individuals who have been paralyzed due to injury to the central nervous system. FES can be used to generate muscle contraction in paralyzed limbs to produce desired functions such as grasping, walking, bladder voiding and standing. This technology used to develop neuroprostheses in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), head injury and stroke and other neurological disorders. Patients can generate a desired function by use of FES . This is sometimes also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
