FES Cycling webinars
We threatened to offer additional training on our RehaMove FES system and the principles and practice of FES last year- but it didn’t quite make it to the top of our action list. We are now looking again at piloting an on-line course for clients and partners if we get a positive response.
Adding haptics to objects in Virtual Reality with FES
We are seeing a number of virtual reality applications in rehabilitation as ideas from the gaming world spill over into rehab. But how about technology from rehab finding it's way into gaming?
A paper by Lopes et al describes how researchers from the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam Germany have been exploring how to add haptics to walls and other heavy objects in virtual worlds by using FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation). When you think about it, a "sense of feeling" is normally missing from these virtual worlds - FES is one way of providing this sense.
Denervated muscle and the Stimulette Den2x
Denervated muscles require a different electrotherapy protocol to "conventional" FES but research has shown that technology such as the Stimulette Den2x from Dr Schuhfried can reverse the loss of tissue bulk and quality that results from a denervation injury. Restoring tissue in this way can reduce the risk of pressure sores, improve circulation and dramatically improve appearance.
