Part 6 of 6 in our Lunch and Learn series.
In this final part of the series, we (and some invited guests) present a series of case studies showcasing electrical stimulation in various scenarios of denervated muscles due to lower motor neuron injuries or peripheral nerve damage.
By the end of the webinar you will have gained a greater insight of using ES in a home and clinic setting and the outcomes, challenges, and lessons learned.
Format:
We know your time is tight, so we’ve designed these sessions to fit with a lunch break. Grab a quiet spot and some nourishment before joining the call.
We will begin promptly at 1230, with a 30minute presentation and time left for questions at the end.
About the series:
In six succinct sessions, we will explore how electrical stimulation techniques can enhance the well-being of individuals with denervated muscles. Whether caused by peripheral nerve injuries or lower motor neuron damage in the spinal cord, forms of electrical stimulation can reverse some of the physiological consequences of denervation.
Denervation has interested clinicians for over a hundred years, but research was primarily descriptive for most of that time. We will look at how, in recent decades, work inspired in Austria led to the creation of international multidisciplinary research teams, the novel technology, and the protocols to confront this serious health challenge.
Downloadable notes, pointers to key research and presentation content will support the webinars.
Practical demonstrations and cases will be feature the Stimulator RISE from Dr. Schuhfried Medizintechnik GmbH but the principles apply to any device capable of delivering appropriate stimulation.
