Identification of electrically stimulated muscle after stroke [PDF]

open access: yes2009 European Control Conference (ECC), 2009
The design of controllers to enable the application of Functional Electrical Stimulation as part of a rehabilitation programme for stroke patients requires an accurate model of electrically stimulated muscle. In this paper, nonlinear dynamics of the electrically stimulated muscle under isometric conditions is investigated, leading to the requirement to

Feedback control of unsupported standing in paraplegia. Part I: optimal control approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This is the first of a pair of papers which describe an investigation into the feasibility of providing artificial balance to paraplegics using electrical stimulation of the paralyzed muscles. By bracing the body above the shanks, only stimulation of the

Electrical Stimulation of Muscle: Electrophysiology and Rehabilitation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiology, 2020
The generation of action potentials in intramuscular motor and sensory axons in response to an imposed external current source can evoke muscle contractions and elicit widespread responses throughout the nervous system that impact sensorimotor function.

Mimicking muscle activity with electrical stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

External physical and biochemical stimulation to enhance skeletal muscle bioengineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cell based muscle tissue engineering carries the potential to revert the functional loss of muscle tissue caused by disease and trauma. Although muscle tissue can be bioengineered using various precursor cells, major limitations still remain.; In the ...

Low-frequency electrical stimulation of bilateral hind legs by belt electrodes is effective for preventing denervation-induced atrophies in multiple skeletal muscle groups in rats

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Belt electrode skeletal muscle electrical stimulation (B-SES) can simultaneously contract multiple muscle groups. Although the beneficial effects of B-SES in clinical situations have been elucidated, its molecular mechanism remains unknown. In this study,
