Mimicking muscle activity with electrical stimulation [PDF]
Journal of Neural Engineering, 2011 Functional electrical stimulation is a rehabilitation technology that can restore some degree of motor function in individuals who have sustained a spinal cord injury or stroke. One way to identify the spatio-temporal patterns of muscle stimulation needed to elicit complex upper limb movements is to use electromyographic (EMG) activity recorded from ...

Is Electrical Stimulation Useful for Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy? A Mini-review
Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2023 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a hereditary progressive neuromuscular disease of childhood. The survival rate of DMD patients is extremely low. In physiotherapy, electrical stimulation is frequently applied to rehabilitate these patients.

Transcutaneous calf-muscle electro-stimulation : a prospective treatment for diabetic claudicants? [PDF]
, 2016 Background: First-line therapy for claudicants with diabetes include supervised exercise programmes to improve walking distance. However, exercise comes with a number of barriers and may be contraindicated in certain conditions. The aim of this study was

Electrical Stimulation Counteracts Muscle Decline in Seniors [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014 The loss in muscle mass coupled with a decrease in specific force and shift in fiber composition are hallmarks of aging. Training and regular exercise attenuate the signs of sarcopenia. However, pathologic conditions limit the ability to perform physical exercise.

Electrical and mechanical activities of longitudinal muscle contraction elicited by transmural electric stimulation [PDF]
, 1975 Intracellular electrical and mechanical activities were simultaneously recorded from the longitudinal muscle of isolated guinea-pig jejunum when the preparation was stimulated transmurally by square pulses of 1 msec, 10 Hz, 10-40 V.

Online identification of electrically stimulated muscle models [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference, 2011 Online identification of electrically stimulated muscle under isometric conditions, modeled as a Hammerstein structure, is investigated in this paper. Motivated by the significant time-varying properties of muscle, a novel recursive algorithm for Hammerstein structure is developed.
