I have a patient with a traumatic injury to her peroneal nerve at the fibular head. She has all the predictible weaknesses within this distribution (0-1/5). I have attempted NMES in just about every conceivable electrode position, pulse width, frequency, imaginable.
The referring physician specifically asked me to administer FES, but I see evidence that is conflicting at best with some even suggesting FES would deter the natural recovery of muscle function. Again, I am sorry if this is not the place for this, but I am curious how some of you feel about FES for denervated muscles. Thanks in advance.
