About the Cleveland FES Center
The Cleveland Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Center, a consortium of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Case Western Reserve University, and MetroHealth Medical Center, provides innovative options for restoring neurological health and function by developing advanced technologies and integrating them into clinical care. The Center's focus is to improve people's lives by supporting fundamental research in the neuro-muscular sciences, developing new technologies and methods, performing clinical evaluation and feasibility testing, and promoting the wide-spread deployment of new technologies through professional education and commercial partnerships. More information about the Cleveland FES Center is available at www.fescenter.case.edu. For specific information about the NCMRR/NICHD (National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research/National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) contract award, please contact Dr. Robert Kirsch at robert.kirsch@case.edu.
