FES is used to produce limb movement for activities of daily living which of the following?

• A. Balance improvements
• B. Sensory restoration
• C. Limb movement for ADLs
• D. Bone remodeling

Answer: (C)

Functional Electrical Stimulation energizes muscles to produce contractions, enabling purposeful limb movement for daily tasks. That ability to generate functional movement is why it’s used to support activities of daily living like reaching, grasping, feeding, and dressing. It isn’t primarily aimed at restoring sensation, improving balance by itself, or remodeling bone; those outcomes can be indirect or outside the main goal of FES.
