By the end of this chapter, the reader should be able to:
-
Describe the key outcomes of the EU RISE programme for denervated muscle and explain their clinical significance
-
Evaluate the structural, functional, and timing evidence for home-based FES in denervated muscle rehabilitation
-
Identify the genuine limitations of the current evidence base and explain what further research is needed
The previous chapter traced the history of electrical stimulation for denervated muscle. This chapter examines the evidence itself. Not the story of how it was produced, but what it actually shows.
