A Wireless Implantable System for Facilitating Gastrointestinal Motility. [PDF]
Gastrointestinal (GI) electrical stimulation has been shown in several studies to be a potential treatment option for GI motility disorders. Despite the promising preliminary research progress, however, its clinical applicability and usability are still ...

Cycle-to-cycle control of swing phase of paraplegic gait induced by surface electrical stimulation [PDF]
Parameterised swing phase of gait in paraplegics was obtained using surface electrical stimulation of the hip flexors, hamstrings and quadriceps; the hip flexors were stimulated to obtain a desired hip angle range, the hamstrings to provide foot ...
