Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a medical device that treats foot drop (inability to lift the toes during walking) in multiple sclerosis or following stroke. It works by applying pulses of current to paralysed muscles.

This collaboration with Innerva explored the five major benefits of power-assisted exercise for older people and people with neurological and cardio-respiratory conditions. The 'magic five' consists of aerobic fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, balance and psychosocial wellbeing.

The Assisted Gamified Exercise for All (AGE4A) project will co-design, prototype and evaluate a new generation of power assisted exercise equipment which will enhance the wellbeing of those with various long-term health conditions.
