FES+VFBT
Standing balance training with the FES+VFBT system will occur 3x/week for six weeks (i.e. 18 sessions). Electrodes will be placed on the participants' plantarflexors and dorsiflexors bilaterally and FES will be administered using the device, MyndSearch, during the balance training exercises. Each session will last one hour, including 15 min to identify motor thresholds and maximum tolerable stimulation levels, 5 min to don/doff the safety harness, 5 min to calibrate the FES+VFBT exercises, 20 min to complete the FES+VFBT exercises, and 10-15 min to take rest breaks between exercises as needed.
