Our FES Cycling Reading List: Nine New Articles from fescycling.com

We have just recently redeveloped our sister site, fescycling.com, dedicated to functional electrical stimulation cycling: the evidence, the practicalities, and the questions that come up most often in clinic. The articles below are written for people considering FES cycling, the families and case managers supporting them, and clinicians who want a clearer view of what the technology can and cannot do.

If you are new to FES cycling, the first three are the natural starting point. The rest go deeper into specific questions, conditions, and day-to-day reality. Although our offered system is based on the Stim2Go unit from Pajunk, the articles should be of general interest to those who wish to learn more about FES cycling.

If you'd like more, there is a comprehensive online resource available at https://fescycling.com/guide and a AI powered chat to let you explore it.
