CYCLING WITH YOUR OWN MUSCLES, DESPITE A CONDITION

Training with Functional Electrical Stimulation

Training with functional electrical stimulation has many positive effects on a person’s wellbeing. As the muscles are reactivated, the blood circulation increases, which improves metabolism. The body temperature, especially in the legs, will also increase.

It can be difficult for people with paralysis to train their legs. Therefore, these individuals have fewer muscles (or none) left, which can result in pressure sores.

The effects of functional electrical stimulation

Functional electrical stimulation prevents these pressure sores through exercising the leg muscles in order to grow strong buttocks again. Furthermore, users indicate that they suffer less from spasms after training with FES.
