There has been substantial interest in the role of exercise for managing impairments, limitations, and disability progression among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Despite established benefits of exercise training for persons who have mild-to-moderate MS, the ability to deliver exercise to persons who experience higher disability remains challenging. One promising approach for exercise in this population is functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling. This review provides a summary of the current evidence for FES cycling as an exercise training modality in persons with MS with respect to prescription, safety, tolerability, and acute and chronic effects.
