IFESS is the International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society and
this is the first time that the meeting has been held in the United
Kingdom. The first two days of the conference will be primarily

IFESS Mission Statement
The purpose of IFESS is to promote the research, application, and
understanding of electrical stimulation as it is utilised in the field
of medicine through meetings tutorials publications and exchange of
information.
The society is truly multidisciplinary and includes clinicians,
scientists, engineers and therapists who are involved in fundamental
research, product development and clinical trials as well as those
involved in using FES techniques in their clinical practice. The IFESS
website www.ifess.org can provide more information on IFESS publications
and the use of electrical stimulation for a wide range of clinical
conditions.
We are pleased to be able to announce that there will be special session
organised by the International Neuromodulation Society (INS) which will
take place during he first two days of the meeting. The aim of the INS
is to promote Neuromodulation in its broadest sense at a clinical and
scientific level. Neuromodulation is defined as the therapeutic
alteration of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems by
implanted devices. This has major applications in the treatment of
chronic pain, movement disorders, spasticity and epilepsy. For more

This meeting is organised by FESnet, the U.K. FES network, funded by
EPSRC
