Webinar series to address electrical stimulation

A series of webinars will help neuro-rehab professionals in their understanding of electrical stimulation and FES and support them in using it with patients. 

Electrical stimulation is a widely utilised treatment modality for individuals living with long-term conditions such as stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy and Acquired and Traumatic Brain Injury.

PF Education, a branch of PhysioFunction which allows the team to share their expertise and experience, is hosting a series of sessions over the coming weeks to address the topic, aimed at supporting professional, clients and the wider MDT to achieve best outcomes.

The webinars will comprise an education series, including online case study workshop to support use of electrical stimulation with patients.

Interactive webinars will be delivered via Zoom and will include:

Session 1: Introduction to Electrical Stimulation  

Introduction the principles underpinning the use of electrical stimulation including anatomy and physiology, electrical stimulation terminology, physiological effects and parameters.
