Clinical Applications of Integrated FES Therapy Systems Course: Hosted by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, October 10-11, 2026

This 2 day CEU accredited course will be held at Children's Hospital of Atlanta - Scottish Rite Hospital 1001 Johnson Ferry Road NE Atlanta, GA 30342 on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 2026 from 9am till 5pm EST.  The intended audience are current users of Restorative Therapies iFES Therapy Systems disciplines including OT, COTA, PT, PTA, EP, etc.  The course is currently approved for 15 CEU contact hours through the Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice and the Maryland Board of Physical Therapy Examiners.

The course will provide didactic and practical application learning opportunities. All participants are required to sign in & out each day and pass an assessment test of the knowledge gained during the course in order to receive completion certification. Class size is limited to maintain optimal learning/teaching opportunities during practical sessions.  Course content will cover the following:

• iFES Systems review
• Fundamentals of Electrical Stimulation and the physiological effects
• Physiological muscle recruitment vs. electrical evoked muscle recruitment
• Power, METs, & functional outcomes
• Xcite: Activity based application of electrical stimulation for task specific training
• RTILink Operations
• iFES System Therapy defaults & clinical rationale for modifications
• iFES System session graph, progress graph analysis
• Hands- on clinical applications of iFES Systems (RT300 and Xcite) with patient volunteers

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of the course, the participant will be able to:

• Demonstrate proficiency in physiological evoked muscle response vs. external electrical stimulation evoked muscle response, optimizing stimulation parameters based upon patient-specific presentation to maximize patient energy expenditure.

• Demonstrate proficiency in clinical application of FES integrated systems (RT300 and Xcite)  across a variety of neurological patient presentations and diagnoses to optimize rehabilitative outcomes.
