Course Overview

How can modern electrical stimulation improve rehabilitation outcomes and support evidence-based clinical practice? This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of modern electrical stimulation (ES) and its role in neurorehabilitation.

 

You will learn about various forms of electrostimulation, understand when each approach is appropriate, and learn how to apply electrostimulation within an ICF-compatible framework to improve treatment outcomes.

 

The course is designed for therapists and other professionals and combines scientific evidence with practical applications to support muscle activation, motor learning, and structural and functional recovery in everyday clinical practice.
