NMES vs FES: What’s the difference and why it matters
Have you ever felt unsure about the difference between NMES and FES?
If you’re working in neurological rehabilitation, you’ve likely come across both terms: Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). Understanding the difference is key, especially when interpreting research findings, as these modalities differ slightly in their application and therefore clinical objective.
