 Functional electrical stimulation, FES, is a technique used to restore movement in patients who have lost motor control due to neurological disorders or injuries. However, one of the main limitations of this technique is its rapid onset of muscle fatigue. Spatially distributed sequential stimulation, SDSS, has been shown to reduce muscle fatigue during FES compared to single electrode stimulation, SES. In this study, 15 able-bodied participants were recruited to investigate the fatigue-reducing ability of SDSS in a clinical application, FES rowing. The results showed that SDSS resulted in a longer FES rowing period by approximately 30% compared to SES. This suggests that SDSS could be used to increase the effectiveness of FES rowing as a rehabilitative exercise for individuals with paralysis.
