Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a modality that uses electrical current applied to paralyzed or weakened muscles via electrodes placed on the skin. We offer FES arm cycling and leg cycling. All new participants require an FES assessment prior to registering for the program. This offering registers you for every Monday/Wednesday, Tuesday/Thursday, or Friday at the same consistent time. Each time slot is 60 minutes long, including set-up and take-down time (the program itself is typically 30-35 minutes of FES exercise). Before registering, please confirm a time slot with a TSC staff member. This registration includes an Access membership to the TSC gym.
