Electrical Stimulation and Language

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1994
Electrical stimulation has been used for over half a century in clinical settings to facilitate the surgical treatment of patients with intractable seizures and cortical structural lesions. It should be employed as the final result of a stepwise process in patient management but, when called for, can be very accurate in localizing critical functional ...

Extracochlear Electrical Stimulation

Scandinavian Audiology, 1984
Extracochlear electrical stimulation was carried out in 7 patients. We used square-wave signals. Electrode positions at the oval and round window showed the lowest current thresholds. The threshold of sound sensations elicited by electrical stimulation was higher in the high frequency than in the low frequency range.

Electrical Stimulation of Osteogenesis

Southern Medical Journal, 1984
The three electrical stimulation systems available for treating nonunion of long bones are successful in approximately 85% of cases. The percutaneous direct current bone growth stimulator is partially invasive, allows patient mobility, can be used with magnetic fixation devices, and can be monitored for proper function, but it requires an operation ...

Functional electrical stimulation

Physiological Measurement, 1997
In the health-care professions, electrical stimulation is used for three purposes: to aid diagnosis; as a therapeutic tool; and to restore lost or damaged functions. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and functional neurostimulation (FNS) are terms which are more or less interchangeable, and which encompass the third of these purposes.

Functional electrical stimulation

Artificial Life and Robotics, 2000
Percutaneous intramuscular electrodes and a portable multichannel system were used to restore the function of paralyzed upper and lower extremities in spinal cord injuries and hemiplegic patients. The hybrid functional electrical stimulation (FEC) using percutaneous intramuscular electrodes provides practical ambulation for paraplegics.

An Electrical Stimulator for Sensory Substitution

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
This work presents an electrical stimulator system for use in sensory substitution (SS), as a mobility aid for visually handicapped people. The whole system passes visual information via cutaneous stimulation, and consists of a webcam, a PC, dedicated hardware to generate stimuli and a 15 x 20 electrode matrix.

Electrical stimulation for stress incontinence

International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 1998
Electrical stimulation has been reported to be effective for stress incontinence, cure and improvement rates being reported to range from 30% to 50%, and from 6% to 90%, respectively. However, clinical application of this treatment is not common because there is little physiological and technical information.

Electrical Stimulation for Strengthening

Physical Therapy, 1985
To the Editor: I read with interest, in the May 1985 issue of Physical Therapy, the article by Mohr et al entitled “Comparison of Isometric Exercise and High Volt Galvanic Stimulation on Quadriceps Femoris Muscle Strength” and the follow-up commentary by Barr.

Electric stimulation and wound healing

Journal of WOCN, 1998
Interest in accelerating the process of wound healing has existed since the beginning of health care. Although significant advances have been made in our understanding of the stages of wound healing, the mediators of tissue repair and regeneration, as well as the efficacy of many treatments, have not been fully evaluated.

[Electric stimulation or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation].

Soins; la revue de reference infirmiere, 2012
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a non-medicated therapy with no side effects, compatible with other treatments and able to be used for an unlimited time. It consists in emitting painless electrical pulses around the nerves or muscles, through electrodes placed on the skin and connected to an easy-to-use generator or stimulator.
