These devices can be store purchased, modified, such as adding tennis balls to a walker or even crafted. A few examples of assistive technology are pencil grips ergonomic kitchen tools (such as OXO good grips) and keyboards that are specialized. More advanced devices can also be considered, including screen magnifiers. Functional electrical stimulation Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is also referred to as functional electrical stimulation is a technique that uses small electric charges on muscles that are either paralyzed or weakened because of an injury such as Multiple Sclerosis or stroke. The electrical impulses stimulate the muscle to perform its usual movement. This treatment helps in facilitating movement, such as grasping or walking. it can aid in improving the function of the bladder and bowel and reduce the risk of pressure sores. Electrical stimulation has been utilized for many years to treat various ailments. Examples include cochlear implants to restore hearing, respiration assisters, and systems that help people empty their bladders. It can also help reduce tremors that are caused by Parkinson's. Electrical stimulation is delivered by electrodes that can be implanted within the body or they can be placed on the skin without piercing the skin, known as noninvasive electrodes or percutaneous. The intensity of the stimulation can be adjusted to produce different outcomes. The intensity of a stimulus may, for example, influence the nature and location of the nerve fibers targeted. The fibers that are larger and close to the electrode are targeted first. Another crucial aspect is the duration of the stimulation. This determines the length of time the muscle is stimulated, which may affect the speed at which fatigue occurs. FES isn't for all. It can be extremely efficient in helping someo
