Class size is limited to maintain optimal learning/teaching opportunities during practical sessions.  Course content will cover the following:

• Integrate FES Therapy Systems review
• Fundamentals of Electrical Stimulation and the physiological effects
• Physiological muscle recruitment vs. electrical evoked muscle recruitment
• Power, METs, & functional outcomes
• Xcite2: Activity based application of electrical stimulation for task specific training
• RTILink Operations
• Therapy defaults & clinical rationale for modifications
