Is the Routine Use of a Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycle for Lower Limb Movement Standard of Care for Acute Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation?

You lead the rehabilitation team at a large, rural freestanding rehabilitation hospital with a small but growing and respected spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation program—inpatient and outpatient. You are caring for a 25-year-old man, 3 weeks after a T10 American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) B injury due to a motor vehicle accident. He is medically stable and participating well in his program. The man's parents happen to have substantial resources. After doing research online, they approach you concerning the absence of a functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycle treatment for their son.
