text: What other functions can be restored with the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES)?
text: Aetna considers functional electrical stimulation (FES) (e.g., Parastep I System) medically necessary durable medical equipment (DME) to enable members with spinal cord injury (SCI) to ambulate when all of the following criteria are met: Member has intact lower motor units (L1 and below) (both muscle and peripheral nerve); and Member has joint stability to bear weight on upper and lower extremities, and has balance and control to maintain an upright posture independently; and Member demonstrated brisk muscle contraction to neuromuscular electrical stimulation and has sensory perception of electrical stimulation sufficient for muscle contraction; and Member has the cognitive ability to use such devices for walking and is highly motivated to use the device long term; and Member can transfer independently and stand for at least 3 minutes; and Member possesses hand and finger function to manipulate the controls; and Member is at least 6 months post recovery of spinal cord injury and restorative surgery; and Member does not have hip and knee degenerative disease and has no history of long bone fracture secondary to osteoporosis; and The member has successfully completed a training program, which consists of at least 32 physical therapy sessions with the device over a 3-month period.
text: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation used in this manner is commonly known as functional electrical stimulation (FES).
text: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a technique that uses low-energy electrical pulses to artificially generate body movements in individuals who have been paralyzed due to injury to the central nervous system.
text: What is functional electrical stimulation (FES) for spinal cord injury?
text: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment method in which low level electrical impulses are applied to nerves or muscles to improve or restore muscle function in people with spinal cord injuries.
text: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) activates muscles in people with spinal cord injuries so they may be able to move and function independently.
text: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) applies small electrical pulses to paralyzed muscles to restore or improve their function.
text: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that applies small electrical charges to a muscle that has become paralysed or weakened, due to damage in your brain or spinal cord.
