The big man here is practicing reach and grab, with a little extra help from FES with the Stim2Go.

The stimulation is triggered from the angle of his reach, and then it helps both open and close the hand with stimulation. If you look at the ipad in the background, you can see that it shows the sequence of the stim, helping to time the action.

FES is a great support to help retrain and improve functional movement.

We're heading to Naidex this month to demonstrate FES Cycling with the PAJUNK® Stim2Go and the THERA-Trainer Toro.

If you're visiting, come find us at Stand N-K54. We'll be chatting all things stimulation and showing this versatile combination in action. We'll also have shorts on hand if you fancy giving it a try yourself (just a quick risk assessment needed first).

If you want to schedule a time to come by for a 1-to-1 we're happy to organise, just drop us a comment or send a message and Carolyn will reach out.

FES Cycling: exercise powered by electrical stimulation 🚲⚡
Here are 4 things to know ⬇️

✨ 1. FES Cycling uses electrical stimulation to activate paralysed or weakened muscles, allowing people to actively cycle even when voluntary movement is limited. The stimulation triggers your muscles to contract in time with the pedals - so the movement is real, not passive.

✨ 2. It's used widely after spinal cord injury. When the connection between brain and muscles is disrupted, the muscles can't contract voluntarily - but they can still respond to electrical stimulation. FES cycling puts those muscles back to work. It's also used by people with MS, brain injuries, and other neurological conditions.

✨ 3. The benefits go beyond the bike. Regular FES cycling helps maintain muscle bulk, support circulation, reduce spasms, and protect against secondary complications like pressure sores. For many of our clients it becomes a core part of staying healthy long-term, not just a rehab tool.

✨ 4. It can be done at home. Systems like our Stim2Go are designed for independent use - app-controlled, wearable, and compatible with a range of bikes. Most of our clients train at home as part of their regular routine. We set everything up, train you on it, and support you from there.

If you'd like to learn more about FES cycling, we've written a guide here on choosing your first FES Cycling System: https://www.anatomicalconcepts.com/articles/choosing-your-first-fes-cycling-system-a-practical-guide

And if you're interested in exploring what a home setup might look like, you can book a demo through our website or just drop us a message.

Do you see that little twitch? ⚡️
That's denervated muscle being stimulated to contract.

Why is that interesting?
Because denervated muscle can't contract on its own, and conventional NMES won't activate it either. The long pulse widths from the KT Motion device here, can.

Okay, but why is that important?
This client's muscle became denervated following an injury, but his surgical and clinical team expect it to make a full recovery. Over time, the nerves should regrow back into the muscle - a process called reinnervation. But that takes a long time, and without intervention the muscle itself will atrophy and degenerate.

So, we use stimulation to support the muscle until that recovery becomes possible. Healthy muscle tissue gives the nerve somewhere to grow back into.

We're increasingly being asked about this, and while there aren't any guarantees, we are finding that at the very least clients have improved muscle health and bulk - and at the most positive, they do seem to make bigger improvements in a shorter timeframe.

FES: more than just a buzz word ⚡
Here are 4 things to know

✨ 1. FES stands for Functional Electrical Stimulation. It uses small electrical impulses to activate muscles that the brain can no longer control effectively - whether that's due to a spinal cord injury, stroke, brain injury, or a neurological condition. It's one of the core tools we use in our work, and it's something you'll hear us talk about a lot.

✨ 2. It's a type of NMES. If you caught our earlier Knowledge Bite on NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation), FES is really just a specific application of it. The difference is that FES is always focused on producing a useful, functional outcome - like helping you grip, stand, or walk. So while all FES is NMES, not all NMES is FES.

✨ 3. It works with your body. FES targets the nerves that supply your muscles and triggers them to contract in a way that mimics natural movement. Think of it like a detour - the signal just takes a different route to get where it needs to go. For the person using it, that can mean being able to do things that would otherwise need assistance or not be possible at all.

✨ 4. The benefits go beyond the session. Using FES regularly can help maintain muscle bulk, support circulation, and reduce secondary complications like pressure sores. For some people, repeated use can even help retrain the nervous system over time, which is one of the really exciting things about it.

If you'd like to go a bit deeper into what FES is, how it works, and some of the ways it's used in rehabilitation, we've written a full article on it here:

Ever heard of NMES? 👀⚡⁠
NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) is the application of electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on the skin, which activates intact peripheral motor nerves and causes the muscles to contract.⁠

It’s often used in rehab to:⁠
✅ support muscle activation⁠
✅ help with strengthening when movement is limited⁠
✅ add an extra training input alongside exercise⁠

⁠But what really is electrical stimulation - and is it safe?

Its great to get this feedback from our client, Lee.
He's an extraordinary man, with a lot of heart and a lot of determination. Its our pleasure to play a part in his story and provide support and guidance on the way.

We're here for you too. Just ask.

Denervated muscle doesn’t mean lost potential ⚡

When a muscle loses its nerve supply (most likely through a peripheral nerve injury, or lower motor lesion), it can no longer receive the signals needed for voluntary contraction. This means it doesn’t contract with conventional electrical stimulation.

Without intervention, over time, the muscle will start to atrophy (shrink) and the structure of the muscle itself will change, being replaced slowly with collagen and fat.

But there is more potential here than many realise 👇

✨ They can still be activated.�
Using long-pulse wave electrical stimulation (LPWS), denervated muscle can be directly stimulated to help preserve tissue and even support rebuilding bulk over time.

✨ Timing and intensity matter.�
Early intervention is preferable. Research shows that we can ‘rescue’ denervated muscle even years post injury - but its a long and slow process to get there. By stimulating early we can prevent these changes taking place.

✨ Better Muscle = Better Health.
Maintaining good muscle bulk not only improves the visual appearance, it also helps to improve circulation and reduce risk of pressure sores and other secondary complications.

If you’re curious about Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (tSCS), here are a few quick facts to explain why it’s gaining so much attention in neurological rehabilitation:

⚡️ Non-invasive spinal cord stimulation, no implants or surgery

🧠 Used to support management of neuropathic(nerve) pain and spasticity

🔬 Research is exploring how it may support improved movement outcomes when combined with functional exercise

If you’d like a clearer, evidence-based explanation of what tSCS is and whether it might be relevant for you, we’ve broken it down in this article. We also explain how Stim2Go supports the delivery of tSCS in clinic and at home.
