About Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
OML is a specialist supplier and provider of treatment for FES.
FES delivers small pulses of electrical stimulation to the nerves that supply paralysed muscles. The stimulation is controlled in such a way that the movement produced provides useful function.
The technique is used as an aid to assist walking as well as practising functional movements for therapeutic benefit.
Who can benefit from FES?

What people say
Don’t just take our word for it!
Cannot fault the help and after care. FES has improved my life.
It changed my life in many ways, it gave me back a life.
Don’t know how I would manage without FES as I can only walk a few steps without it.
