Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
Harnessing functional electrical stimulation cycling in acute Care
The Team
Our team, composed of researchers, clinicians, therapists, individuals with lived experience, and focus group members including representatives from the Royal Alexandra Hospital and the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada developed the FES cycling toolkit. We used research evidence and consultation with hospital therapy staff to develop toolkit content. We evaluated and revised toolkit format and content based on feedback from workshop attendees and study participants.

The toolkit has been specifically designed for the implementation of functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling for spinal cord injury rehabilitation using the RT 300 FES leg cycle at the University of Alberta Hospital and the Royal Alexandra Hospital located in Edmonton, Alberta with the expertise of multiple stakeholders. However, this toolkit can also be used to inform FES cycling rehabilitation at other sites, settings and for other conditions. It is intended as a guide only and should not replace medical advice from your healthcare providers.
