Electrical stimulation of denervated muscles
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2004In this report, the 3-year rehabilitation of a 43-year-old male patient, who have pelvic 'open book' fracture, urinary bladder and urethral injury, lumbosacral plexus avulsion trauma and right lower extremity monoparesis is explained.Rehabilitation of these injuries is absolutely essential to ensure optimal functional recovery.

Electrical Stimulation of Laryngeal Muscle
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1991Most functional electrical stimulation (FES) research has focused on the spinal cord-injured patient whose muscles are paralyzed but still maintain their innervation. This article details the investigation of FES of the laryngeal muscles. In time, FES may become a useful treatment for bilateral vocal cord paralysis (BVCP) and for some laryngeal ...

Electrically stimulated smooth muscle neosphincter
British Journal of Surgery, 1997Most patients undergoing total anorectal reconstruction suffer some degree of incontinence despite the incorporation of an electrically stimulated gracilis neosphincter. As smooth muscle has the ability to maintain prolonged contraction without fatigue, the aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of developing an electrically stimulated smooth ...

EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATION ON OXYGEN CONSUMPTION
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2005Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices are being marketed as weight/ fat loss devices throughout the world. Commercially available stimulators have the ability to evoke muscle contractions that may affect caloric expenditure while the device is being used.

Electrical stimulation of skeletal muscle—A study of muscle as an actuator
Medical & Biological Engineering, 1967In many forms of disability in humans due to paralysis, it appears possible to regain some measure of function through direct electrical stimulation of paralysed muscles. The work described in this paper represents some of the first steps taken in a broad research program toward controlled electrical stimulation of muscles in human beings.

Biceps brachii muscle oxygenation in electrical muscle stimulation
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2010SummaryThe purpose of this study was to compare between electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and maximal voluntary (VOL) isometric contractions of the elbow flexors for changes in biceps brachii muscle oxygenation (tissue oxygenation index, TOI) and haemodynamics (total haemoglobin volume, tHb = oxygenated‐Hb + deoxygenated‐Hb) determined by near ...

An electrical muscle simulator based on functional electrical stimulation
2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2012Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has already been used in many aspects of rehabilitation medicine as a treatment method. According to the functional electrical stimulation, we present an electrical muscle simulator which can adjust the amplitude, frequency and wave of electrical impulses by button and make the treatment more effective.

Different combinations of stimulation parameters can create outcome variations during Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). This study compared muscle performance and time until fatigue for four different parameter combinations. Standard Protocol used 20 Hz, 200 µs pulse width, and minimum current to evoke movement; Long Pulse Duration (LPD ...

Electrical Stimulation of Muscle: Field Stimulation
1975Electrical field stimulation, in which the stimulating current is applied uniformly to the tissue, is useful in several experimental situations. All muscle cells are simultaneously, directly, and nearly equally stimulated. Since each cell is excited without the necessity of propagation, field stimulation ensures that all cells become activated in ...
