However, even 10 years after FDA approval of such a noninvasive FES system and 2 years after reimbursement was approved by Medicare, Medicaid, and by most insurers, there is great ignorance in the paraplegics community about the availability of such a system and of its performance and benefits. In Reference [38], a statement by a patient is quoted (made in a recent symposium of prospective FES users, funded by the Whitaker Foundation), that in 3 to 4 different rehabihtation facihties and (having) talked to over 200 patients...none of them ever mentioned FES. These indicate ignorance, regarding the role...

Sadly, European bioengineering and biotechnology have not received independent funding, such as that of the US based Whitaker Foundation, for the initiation of new bioengineering programs and research. Also, language differences form a major barrier. With the exception of a few countries, such as Sweden and The Netherlands, which offer courses in English despite the fact that it is not...
