Perceptual simultaneity and its modulation during EMG-triggered motion induction with electrical muscle stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 When human movement is assisted or controlled with a muscle actuator, such as electrical muscle stimulation, a critical issue is the integration of such induced movement with the person's motion intention and how this movement then affects their motor ...

Efficacy of adding selective electrical muscle stimulation to usual physical therapy for Bell's palsy: immediate and six-month outcomes. [PDF]
Eur J Transl Myol, 2023 Bell’s palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis, affecting one in every 60 people in their lifetime. Transcutaneously applied selective electrical muscle stimulation could potentially accelerate recovery from Bell’s palsy but this intervention ...

Effects of electrical muscle stimulation on cerebral blood flow. [PDF]
BMC Neurosci, 2021 Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) induces involuntary muscle contraction. Several studies have suggested that EMS has the potential to be an alternative method of voluntary exercise; however, its effects on cerebral blood flow (CBF) when applied to ...

Force Sensation Induced by Electrical Stimulation of the Tendon of Biceps Muscle
Applied Sciences, 2021 Many wearable interfaces have been proposed to present force to the upper limb and elbow joint. One way to achieve a compact wearable haptic interface is to use electrical stimulation, and we have suggested that transcutaneous electrical stimulation ...
