Following detailed physical assessment, our physiotherapists will be able to determine if FES is appropriate for you, which unit is the most helpful and arrange a trial of the equipment. At Physio.co.uk, we offer hire of the FES unit so that you can practice applying the electrodes at home and wearing it on a daily basis as part of your normal routine.
If an effective muscle contraction is achieved and it improves your ability to walk or move your limb, FES could be a long-term treatment option to improve your overall quality of life.
At Physio.co.uk, we offer assistance with the purchase of a FES unit and a follow-up review service to objectively measure the improvement in your walking pattern or reach. Your physiotherapist will re-assess the distance, speed and quality of your walking after wearing the FES in order to effectively measure the level of your improvement.
