Functional electrical stimulation

Physiological Measurement, 1997
In the health-care professions, electrical stimulation is used for three purposes: to aid diagnosis; as a therapeutic tool; and to restore lost or damaged functions. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and functional neurostimulation (FNS) are terms which are more or less interchangeable, and which encompass the third of these purposes.

Extracochlear Electrical Stimulation

Artificial Organs, 1989
Abstract: Twelve patients with sensorineural hearing loss were stimulated by a transtympanic electrode contacting the cochlear promontory. Nine of them were tested to study hearing perception associated with various features of electrical signals, using an auditory electrical stimulator. Biphasic pulse bursts and sine‐wave bursts were used as stimuli.

Electrical stimulation of breathing

Human Physiology, 2010
We have generalized data on different breathing electrostimulation methods and have shown their merits and demerits. We have presented electrostimulation methods, the electrostimulators description, different variants of electrodes site, parameters influence. It has shown advantages breathing electrostimulation application in a medical practice.

Electrical Stimulation and Language

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1994
Electrical stimulation has been used for over half a century in clinical settings to facilitate the surgical treatment of patients with intractable seizures and cortical structural lesions. It should be employed as the final result of a stepwise process in patient management but, when called for, can be very accurate in localizing critical functional ...

Electrical Stimulation of Osteogenesis

Southern Medical Journal, 1984
The three electrical stimulation systems available for treating nonunion of long bones are successful in approximately 85% of cases. The percutaneous direct current bone growth stimulator is partially invasive, allows patient mobility, can be used with magnetic fixation devices, and can be monitored for proper function, but it requires an operation ...

Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1986
To the Editor .—I was pleased to read that Dr Dobie has explored electrical tinnitus suppression, as reported in the July 1986 issue of theArchives, 1 but his success rate was extremely poor and could be attributed to a placebo effect. I would like to offer a word of caution and advice to researchers in the field of electrical treatment, not just for ...

[Electric stimulation or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation].

Soins; la revue de reference infirmiere, 2012
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a non-medicated therapy with no side effects, compatible with other treatments and able to be used for an unlimited time. It consists in emitting painless electrical pulses around the nerves or muscles, through electrodes placed on the skin and connected to an easy-to-use generator or stimulator.
