Level 1
This specialized course is designed for physical therapists and clinicians seeking the most advanced applications of Non-Invasive Spinal Electrical Stimulation (NISE-Stim) to enhance clinical outcomes in children with:
Cerebral palsy (CP)
Hypotonia
Spinal cord injuries, Spina Bifida
Brachial plexus paralysis
Other neuromotor impairments
Course Highlights:
✔ Muscle Activation – Learn how NISE-Stim can be used to activate muscles, allow them to fire faster and improve strength.
✔ Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) – Discover effective treatment strategies for improving trunk, upper, and lower extremity control.
✔ Muscle & Nerve Testing – Gain expertise in assessing muscle-nerve function and optimizing stimulation parameters.
✔ Hands-On Training & Clinical Videos – Participate in practical sessions and review real case studies to enhance your skills.
This course will provide step-by-step guidance on selecting optimal stimulation settings, refining treatment plans, and advancing therapy techniques for better patient outcomes.
NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTRICAL STIMULATION IS NEEDED, BUT CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE IS NECESSARY!
