What to Expect in a Therapy Session

Supporting You Throughout Your
Integrated FESTherapy Session

Interested in trying a Restorative Therapies iFES system, but not sure what to expect?
Take comfort knowing we’re with you every step of the way.

Before you begin your Integrated FES session, your clinician will customize your program and set you up on the system. Setup takes about 10-15 minutes depending on the number of muscle groups you will be stimulating.

To start, your clinician will place electrodes on up to 12 muscle groups and will customize the stimulation settings just for you.

The sensation of Integrated FES you experience will depend on your specific neurological impairment or condition. If you have a complete spinal cord injury, you may not feel the Integrated FES below the level of injury. If you have an incomplete spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or other neurological condition, others have described a tingling sensation that’s usually well-tolerated.

All of our Integrated FES systems have very flexible stimulation parameters. Your clinician can customize stimulation settings for each muscle group to obtain the best muscle response while keeping the Integrated FES sensation you experience safe and comfortable.
