Usually, FES is applied using a single pair of electrodes, with only one active electrode (Single-Electrode-Stimulation; SES). Unfortunately, muscles activated by SES get tired (fatigue) and contraction forces decrease quickly, because muscles must be activated at unnaturally high rates to create useful contractions. To reduce fatigue, we have developed Spatially-Distributed-Sequential-Stimulation (SDSS), which rotates electrical pulses between multiple active electrodes to mimic natural muscle activation. The overall purpose of this project is to identify a method of delivering FES which maximizes neuromuscular performance, prolonging rehabilitation and\/or exercise sessions for the user.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48byj46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"48byj46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.19.0 - 07-02-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/SES_SDSS.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-954\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/SES_SDSS.png 975w, https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/SES_SDSS-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/SES_SDSS-768x406.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-gbn7ior elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"gbn7ior\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Project Publications<\/h4><ul><li>A.J.
