STIWELL® Academy
Benefit from the STIWELL® training options
Our STIWELL® Academy is training physicians and therapists on functional electrical stimulation as well as on the latest state of research. Educate yourself by trainings & courses or make use of our online offers such as webinars or video training.
Webinars
Take advantage of our free online training courses (webinars) to further your education and deepen your knowledge in the field of EMG-triggered multi-channel electrical stimulation and electrical stimulation of denervated muscles. Find out more about the neurological and orthopaedic STIWELL® applications.
(F)ES and (Partially) Denervated Muscles of the Upper Extremity
Speaker: Miriam Wanner, MSc
This webinar will explore the treatment of (partially) denervated muscles in the Upper Extremity using (F)ES. We will discuss the importance of correct stimulation parameters, electrode selection, and treatment frequency to ensure effective therapy.
THU., April 10, 2025 | 17:30–18:30
(F)ES and Biofeedback Training for Facial Palsy
Speaker: Christina Buchgeher, BSc
The use of (functional) electrical stimulation and biofeedback training can be a valuable component in the treatment of facial nerve palsies. The webinar provides basic knowledge about the stimulation parameters in the area of denervation and partial innervation, as well as an in-depth insight into selective EMG-triggered stimulation with two electrode channels and biofeedback training for chronic paresis and synkinesia.
THU., October 9, 2025 | 17:30–18:30
FES Induced Neuronal Plasticity
Speaker: Patricia Meier, MSc
This webinar describes how neuronal plasticity can be induced through functional electrical stimulation (FES) in the sense of stimulation-induced plasticity. Subsequently neuroplastic changes occurring on a cortical level, in the corticospinal tract and in the peripheral nerves will be described. Hypotheses and initial findings on plastic changes on a spinal cord level will also be discussed.
THU., November 27, 2025 | 17:30–18:30
Seminars & workshops
We would be happy to train you and your team in the practical use of the STIWELL®.
You can find an overview of our various courses here:
The STIWELL® Introductory Workshop provides an introduction to the operation of the STIWELL®. Participants will learn first practical examples of functional electrical stimulation and receive an overview of therapy options with this form of treatment.
The STIWELL® Therapy Workshop is a half to full day of training. The workshop focuses on the practical application of EMG-triggered multi-channel electrical stimulation including electrode attachment, case examples – optionally with patient – and theoretical background knowledge.
The STIWELL® Certification Workshop is a two-day intensive training focusing on the use of EMG-triggered multi-channel electrical stimulation in neurorehabilitation and practical applications. Case examples of patients, concepts of motor learning and evidence-based knowledge complete this combination of theoretical and practical training.
Our courses are also available internationally upon request. Find more information about the training options in your area.
