      For FES, is there a minimal muscle grade that the patient must have for the FES to work properly? Can this be used on a patient who has a muscle grade of 1/5? or 2-/5? or 2/5? or 2+/5?

      Hi Karen,
      There isn’t a minimum muscle grade for FES to be indicated. However, you should be able to elicit a muscle contraction with FES in order to justify its use.
