Functional Electrical Stimulator (FES)
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is an advanced rehabilitation technique that uses low-energy electrical pulses to stimulate nerves and activate muscles that have become weakened or paralyzed. It is designed to restore and improve mobility, strength, and functionality in patients suffering from neurological conditions, spinal cord injuries, stroke, or other mobility impairments. By mimicking natural nerve signals, FES helps muscles regain strength and perform functional movements.

At Neuro Robotic Physiotherapy, Dr. Ashish Singh (P.T.) utilizes evidence-based clinical protocols for FES - Functional Electrical Stimulator. Each session is customized to target the underlying physiological dysfunctions, accelerate tissue repair, and restore optimal functional freedom.
Conditions Effectively Treated with FES - Functional Electrical Stimulator
Cellular Activation & Healing Stimulation
Enhances localized capillary perfusion, accelerating the delivery of essential oxygen, white blood cells, and reparative nutrients while speeding up metabolic waste elimination.
Neuromuscular Pain-Gate Modulation
Stimulates mechanoreceptors and sensory afferent fibers to suppress nociceptive transmission at the spinal cord level, delivering swift and lasting non-narcotic relief.
Key Benefits of FES - Functional Electrical Stimulator
