FES Forum September 2006

The purpose of the FES Forum held September 18 to 22, 2006 was to reenergize FES rowing research collaborations between researchers at the University of Alberta and in the UK. It provided an opportunity for FES researchers, The Steadward Centre for Personal and Physical Achievement and the Spinal Cord Injury Treatment Centre Society (SCITCS) to connect, re-establish ties and develop recommendations for the future of FES rowing. Please see the attached final report for an overview of the activities and meetings that occurred, the ideas that were discussed and the recommendations that followed.
