Rehabilitation technology is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, driven by innovative solutions that prioritise adaptability and personalised care. This article explores how cutting-edge advancements, like Stim2Go, redefine therapy by aligning with the natural dynamics of the human body. By shifting from traditional, one-size-fits-all methods to highly individualised approaches, we are entering a new era of recovery that holds profound implications for patients and clinicians alike.

n this article, we showcase the arrival of a new product called Stim2Go, which promises to open up the availability of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Cycling to a much wider group (and do some other clever things, too).

PAJUNK GmbH, one of the global market leaders in regional anaesthesia, has introduced the Stim2Go worldwide. The product' was developed and operated by another German company, SensorStim Neurotechnology GmbH. The product has regulatory approval in the USA and is now available in Europe and the UK as a registered medical device.

The introduction of Stim2Go provides a more accessible and efficient solution for (FES) cycling because it allows the user to add this capability to just about any passive/active bike such as the Thera Trainer range.

This article explores how the timing and intensity of home-based Functional Electrical Stimulation (hbFES) can affect recovery after complete denervation injury. It looks at how stimulation parameters may influence the structural recovery of lower motor neurons and muscle fibres, and why starting early and using the right dose of stimulation could be important for outcomes. The article summarises key findings and practical considerations, offering insight for clinicians and individuals interested in evidence-based hbFES use.

Electrical stimulation can be an effective way to strengthen skeletal muscle, but outcomes depend heavily on how it’s applied. This article explores what the research suggests about effectiveness, and which stimulation parameters appear most important - such as intensity, frequency, pulse duration, and session length. It highlights why correct dosing and progression matter, and how stimulation can be tailored to support different strength and rehabilitation goals. A useful overview for clinicians and individuals looking to understand evidence-based stimulation for muscle strengthening.

In this article, we step back and consider how brachial plexus injuries are treated and then look at how forms of electrical stimulation might contribute to achieving the best clinical outcome.

Brachial plexus injuries present a complex challenge in medical practice, with the potential to produce significant functional impairment and reduced quality of life. Effective treatment requires a meticulous, multifaceted approach, combining surgical and non-surgical interventions tailored to the patient's specific needs. This article explores current treatment strategies, focusing on the potential role of electrical stimulation as a complementary therapy. By examining its applications and efficacy, we aim to highlight how this innovative technique could enhance recovery and optimise clinical outcomes for individuals affected by these injuries.

All medical devices have indications and contraindications, and the manufacturer always states these clearly. However, not all electrical stimulation devices on the market are classified as medical devices, so the manufacturer may not clearly describe when they might be unsafe to use.

A very common situation we face when dealing with clients is the presence of metal implants such as joint replacements, fracture fixation plates and spinal instrumentation near where we wish to apply electrodes. The concern has been that the energy generated by electrical stimulation over metal implants would cause local, damaging heating within the tissues. We consider this below.

We must follow the manufacturer's recommendations. However, you might wonder about the real risks. Do the benefits of using electrical stimulation outweigh the risks? This article explores this topic.
