Who it can help

Home > Healthcare Professionals > Who it can help

Common treatable conditions

FES is commonly used for the correction of dropped foot, but is for anyone who has lost movement in lower or upper limb due to nerve injury in the spinal cord or brain. This includes:

  • Stroke
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Spinal cord injury above T12
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
  • Head injury
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Or any other neurological condition or injury that affects the brain or spinal cord above T12

FES may also be used to strengthen muscles weakened due to orthopaedic or other medical problems.

Not suitable for

Unfortunately, FES is not suitable for people who have weakness due to damage to the nerves that pass from the spinal cord to the muscles. This includes conditions such as:

  • Peripheral nerve lesions
  • Poliomyelitis (polio)
  • Motor neurone disease
  • Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
  • Spinal cord injury below T12

While the above conditions do not usually respond to FES, there can be an exception.
