It might sound too good to be true, but a 2022 government-funded study from South Korea says it’s possible.Researchers from Kyung Hee University and Kyungpook National University reviewed multiple studies on Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)—a low-energy treatment that activates weak or paralyzed muscles.💡 Why it matters:Over 80% of stroke survivors struggle to walk normally again. Many develop “foot drop,” balance issues, or muscle loss (sarcopenia). That’s where FES can help.Here’s what the researchers found when older adults used FES alongside basic rehab:✅ Foot-lifting muscle strength improved by 56.6%✅ Walking speed and distance increased✅ Balance while standing and walking improved✅ Less muscle tightness, more control✅ Improvements lasted even after stopping therapy👨🌾 In one study, patients aged 60+ used FES just 3x/week for 20–30 mins during walking or cycling.The result? More power, more balance, fewer falls.📖 Want to see the proof yourself?We’ve made the full study easy to access—so you can read it, download it, or bring it to your physiotherapist.🔗 Click here to get the free research breakdown:👉 https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/walking-strength-stroke-korean-study👀 This is for:• Stroke survivors (especially 60+)• Carers, nurses, and rehab therapists• People using EMS at home• Families supporting recovery• Anyone who wants science-backed wellness❤️ At ORIEMS FIT, we simplify legit medical studies so more people can understand their options.No pressure.
