Electrical currents activate nerves in extremities that have been affected by neurological illness or injury. By promoting normal movement patterns, FES encourages adaptive neuroplasticity and improvement in function for activities like walking, running, stepping, reaching, and grasping.
Using electrodes attached to the skin, small electrical pulses are sent directly to the neurologically impaired muscles. These electrical stimuli are programmed by our physical therapists and are coordinated by computer software, resulting in corresponding muscle contractions and limb movements, which users would otherwise not be able to achieve on their own.
Synaptic also utilizes FES bikes in our treatment plans, allowing people with little or no voluntary leg movement to pedal a stationary leg-cycle called an ergometer.
We continually explore cutting-edge research to make meaningful improvements in the lives of those living with a neurological diagnosis or injury.
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is used to help restore function, strengthen, and reduce atrophy in paralyzed muscles.
Hunova
Hunova is a robotic aid that supports rehabilitation and functional sensory motor evaluation of the lower limbs and torso.
Standing Frame
The Standing Frame is used by individuals with traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis
Therastride
Therastride is a full body weight supported system for over a treadmill that enables people with varying degrees of mobility to be upright in a weight-bearing position for gait retraining.
Xcite
Xcite is an innovative system that is integrated into therapeutic activities to assist with hand activities and upper and lower extremity activities.
It comes together within the clinic but is the combination of community outreach, support, and innovation far beyond our four walls.
