Advanced treatment for Neurological and Spinal Lesions under NDIS
At my physio Capalaba, we use an advanced device called a Functional Electrical Muscle Stimulator (FES). This INDOSTIM device sends electrical impulses through the skin to target specific nerves or muscles. Functional EMS involves placing an electrically charged pen electrode on the skin near an affected muscle, sending an electrical current passively to that area. This current induces rhythmic muscle contractions and stimulates the targeted muscles. The electrical impulses generated by FMS mimic the natural contraction and relaxation of muscles.
Who can benefit from the treatment?
- Spinal cord injuries: Paraplegic & tetraplegics
- Neurological disorders: Stroke, Multiple sclerosis and Acute Brain Injury
Electrical stimulation is particularly effective for above individuals who are unable to actively contract their muscles, leading to atrophy and contractures over time..
Benefits of FES
- Muscle Rehabilitation and Strengthening
- Pain Management
- Neuromuscular Re-education
- Relaxation of Muscle Spasms
- Preventing Disuse Atrophy
A Physiotherapy Program for Individuals with neurological & Spinal Cord Lesions include
- Assessment of impairments, severity, activity limitations, and participation restrictions
