Hi everybody
i'm texting from italy....i am a T-7 complete paralegic since 1996. Now i am 26 and i was interested in trying the Functional electrical stimulatio to increase the blood circulation and, hopefully, increase the thickness of my leg muscles so to prevent from pressure sores. So my goal is not to walk and use the fes as an alternative to the wheelchair, but it'd be only an health matter....
Which device do you recomend me? Does anyone have one of the device in commerce?
If i understand well, there are two main types, one that uses intramuscolar electrodes and the other one that uses surface electrodes....which is the difference between these two types?
thank you
alessandro
