Workshop presentation by Dr Derek Jones to be made at the IFESS Annual Conference, April 12th &13th, University of Southampton. Aims to showcase the usefulness of FES technology for spinal cord injured clients as a means of improving the effectiveness of activity based rehabilitation. Too few persons after a catastrophic injury actually achieve their potential for rehabilitation. There are a number of reasons for this. Our experience is that in the right hands FES technology can offer much more than FES Cycling. The presentation highlights the challenge and shows how a RehaStim FES system can power not just a RehaMove FES Bike, but also - by using additional software - it can power other exercises such as FES rowing, arm exercise and trunk extension exercise. Researchers can adopt the Science Mode software option for the ultimate in control of both stimulation sequences and a MOTOmed viva2 cycle.

11. Sequence Mode
✤ Turn on and off 1 to 8 channels in precisely
timed and complex patterns
✤ Choose from more than 100 templates or
create your own
✤ Manual trigger or cyclic operation
✤ Software can sit alongside FES Cycling
software
✤ Powerful but easy to use
