Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycling Community of practice

We aim to bring together a network of individuals to advance functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling for spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation, exercise, and sport as part of an interprovincial Community of Practice (CoP). This CoP will initially include people from Alberta or Saskatchewan. However, we will host national and international speakers. This group represents the first step towards development of a national FES cycling CoP. 

Objectives
There are three main objectives:
1. To improve knowledge and confidence of practicing health care providers about FES cycling by sharing expertise through a webinar series and a mentorship program.
2. To speed up access to FES cycling for individuals with SCI by addressing barriers such as lack of awareness, limited funding, and restricted equipment availability by creating social media presence and organizing an FES cycle-a-thon.
3. To facilitate the exchange of evidence-based tools, research, training opportunities, and practical strategies through an online discussion board.
