Electrical stimulation activities have been used for decades to promote improved health
and functional abilities for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). For example,
electrical stimulation has been used to help improve muscle strength and size for
individuals with muscle paralysis from SCI.1 The two primary types of electrical stimulation therapies that work on skeletal muscles
are 1) functional electrical stimulation (FES) and 2) neuromuscular electrical stimulation
(NMES).
