Welcome to FES North West

FES North west offers a specialist service that is solely dedicated to improving your walking ability and arm movement using leading edge innovative medical technology.

Our Aims

We aim to maximise your functional independance enabling you to achieve your goals using innovative medical technology.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a clinically proven effective treatment suitable for Stroke, Multiple Scelerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, Familial Spastic Paraparesis, and Incomplete Spinal Cord injury.

A common use of FES is in the treatment of Foot Drop, which has received the approval of NICE and is recommended by the Royal College of Physicians. FES can also be used for the more complex walking difficulties assisting hip and knee control. Electrical stimulation can also assist as part of a rehabilitation program to improve arm function. Stimulation is a safe technique and may benefit people who been recently diagnosed or have suffered the condition for many years.
