Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation Technology for Functional Electrical Therapy Applications
2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006Key to a successful application of functional electrical stimulation as a rehabilitation therapy (also termed functional electrical therapy or FET) is modular, portable, programmable, and versatile transcutaneous electrical stimulation technology. In this article a hardware platform, Compex Motion, that has been used successfully to develop numerous ...

Torque history of electrically stimulated human quadriceps: Implications for stimulation therapy
Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 1993AbstractThe time course of knee extension torque was measured in human quadriceps muscles during 30 min of transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Ninety subjects were divided into six experimental groups (n = 15 per group), which received stimulation at one of the following frequency/duty cycle combinations: 10 Hz/50%, 30 Hz/50 ...

Treating a pressure ulcer with bio-electric stimulation therapy
British Journal of Nursing, 2006Mr Jones lived independently until he developed necrotic pressure ulcers over his heels and could no longer mobilize to care for himself. He was transferred to a nursing home where he lived for 18months and where the nurses could care for his wounds.The wound had been on his right heel without changing over the 18months and, although attempts to ...

[Neuromuscular electric stimulation therapy in otorhinolaryngology].
HNO, 2014Animal experiments have shown that after specific nerve traumatization, neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) can promote nerve regeneration and reduce synkinesia without negatively interfering with normal regeneration processes. NMES is used routinely in physical rehabilitation medicine.This systematic literature search in the Cochrane Central ...

[Electric stimulation in dysphagia therapy--a review].
Laryngo- rhino- otologie, 2010In the last years an increased interest in the electrical stimulation has consisted in the treatment of dysphagia. In the article we introduce the anatomical and physiological premises for the method. In a critical analysis the present state of art is represented, the clinical results are checked and the chances for the future are examined.

[Electric brain stimulation for epilepsy therapy].
Der Nervenarzt, 2004Attempts to control epileptic seizures by electrical brain stimulation have been performed for 50 years. Many different stimulation targets and methods have been investigated. Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is now approved for the treatment of refractory epilepsies by several governmental authorities in Europe and North America.
