NMES Masterclass for Neurological Disorders

Training Course:

NMES Masterclass for Neurological Disorders

9am – 5pm on 15th & 16th April 2023

The idea of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been around for centuries. The earliest known use of electric muscle stimulation dates to around 500 BC. In 1745 German physician Altus Kratzsteinasserted that muscles could be manipulated via electrical current. In the 19th century the Faradization technique emerged, an early method of electrical stimulation therapy used to effectively treat motor paralysis in patients. This led to the eventual acceptance of electrical stimulation therapy in hospitals.

In 2023 we have more understanding about the pathology of neurological conditions and neuroplasticity. Dr Daniel Becker (assistant Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins and Director at the International Neurorehabilitation Institute) has published some robust studies demonstrating that NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) can promote re-myelination in a variety of conditions such as TM and MS. We have seen evidence of this in our clinical practice when patients using NMES are able to make objective functional improvements.

This course is for clinicians who work with adults and children who would like to further enhance their knowledge and practice of NMES in rehabilitation.  Recent research will be discussed, along with clinical application for more complex conditions. It is assumed that candidates will have basic knowledge of anduse NMES devices in their current practice. Basic set up and parameters of NMES devices will not be covered in this course.

By the end of this course, candidates will:

• Have an understanding of how NMES enhances regeneration in the central nervous system after injury,
• Recent research on use of NMES in upper limb rehabilitation,
• The use of NMES in a wide variety of conditions,
• Be aware of how NMES is used in a range of different technologies available on the market today,
• Be familiar with positioning of electrodes for a variety clinical presentations,
• Enhance ability to analyse different movement patterns and use NMES as part of a treatment plan.  

Presenters:

• Dr Daniel Becker – John Hopkins University. “How does NMES enhance CNS regeneration?”
• Dr Salim Ghoussayni– Senior Market Development Director at MindMaze “Intento / upper limb research”
• Ms Lynn Vale – Neuro Physiotherapist “Use of NMES in SCI / equipment”
• Dr Tamsyn Street– Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust “Use of NMES in bowel and bladder control”
• Mrs Farshideh Bondarenko – Birkdale “Use of NMES in movement disorders and balance”  
• Mr Richard Welsh – Remotion “Mollii suit”

Course Fee: £450.00 including lunches & refreshments. A place is only confirmed on receipt of full fee.

Cancellations no later than 27/3/23 after this date a fee of £50.00 will be charged.
