Clinical Applications of Integrated FES Therapy Systems Course - Hosted by ChildServe, April 17-18, 2026

This 2 day CEU accredited course will be hosted by ChildServe 5406 Merle Hay Rd, Johnston, IA, 50131. This course is held on Friday April 17, 2026 from 9am-5pm CST and Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 8am - 4pm CST. 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.
