SCI-ISIG Webinar
Functional Electrical Stimulation: Past, present, future and lessons learned
9 MAY // 12:00 PM ET
Dr. Popovic will cover some of the basic concepts pertinent to Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and what has happened in the field over the past 60+ years. He will talk about lessons learned, successes, challenges and where the field may be in the next 20+ years. This will likely be a biased perspective on the field, but it will present some unique insights that Dr. Popovic and his team got over the past 25 years trying diverse technical and clinical solutions in the FES field.
