Development of clinical guidelines for service provision of functional electrical stimulation to support walking: mixed method exploration of stakeholder views

Abstract: Background Over the past 20 years Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has grown in clinical use to support walking in people with lower limb weakness or paralysis due to upper motor neuron lesions. Despite growing consensus regarding its benefits, provision across the UK and internationally is variable. This study aimed to explore stakeholder views relating to the value of a clinical guideline focusing on service provision of FES to support walking, how people might use it and what should b… Show more

“…2 Use of FES can facilitate long-term self-management, increasing physical activity and improving mental and physical wellbeing. 3 The growing evidence base has led to FES being recommended by UK clinical guidelines for supporting walking in people with drop foot after stroke 4 and more generally for people with "drop foot of central neurological origin" (p. 2). 5 Despite evidence for its impacts, FES is not provided equally across the UK and internationally.…”

“…Functional electrical stimulation (FES) technologies are increasingly being used to manage and improve motor control and other functions affected by upper motor neuron conditions. With a growing demand for the technology 1 and an increasing number of clinicians delivering it, clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been identified as a requirement to ensure best practice and inform healthcare decision‐makers 1 . CPGs have recently been developed to support walking for people with lower limb weakness or paralysis from stroke 2 and other upper motor neuron conditions 3 .…”
