Transcutaneous electrostimulation for osteoarthritis of the knee [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2009
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease and the leading cause of pain and physical disability in the elderly. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interferential current stimulation and pulsed electrostimulation are used widely to control both acute and chronic pain arising from several conditions, but some policy makers ...

The effects of knee joint angle on neuromuscular activity during electrostimulation in healthy older adults [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering, 2018
Introduction Electrostimulation devices stimulate the common peroneal nerve, producing a calf muscle-pump action to promote venous circulation. Whether knee joint angle influences calf neuromuscular activity remains unclear.

Rapid Alleviation of Parkinson’s Disease Symptoms via Electrostimulation of Intrinsic Auricular Muscle Zones [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Background: Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) and the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) significantly improve cardinal motor symptoms and postural instability and gait difficulty, respectively, in Parkinson’s disease (PD).Objective

Acute Effects of Varying Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Amplitude on Quadriceps Isometric Torque and Muscle Thickness in Healthy Young Adults: A Randomized Split-Limb Trial. [PDF]

Physiother Res Int
ABSTRACT Introduction Despite the relevance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) dosimetry, it is unclear whether increasing the self‐reported tolerated amplitude enhances acute neuromuscular responses. Objective To investigate the acute effects of varying NMES amplitude and type of induced contraction on quadriceps isometric torque (IT) and ...

Evaluating Human Perception Thresholds in Magnetic Stimulation Using Experimental Measurements and Modelling. [PDF]

Bioelectromagnetics
ABSTRACT This preregistered study investigated whether induced electric fields alone could predict human perception thresholds in magnetic stimulation. Using a figure‐of‐eight magnetic coil placed on the forearm, perception thresholds were collected from 24 healthy participants using the method of adjustment in 12 stimulation conditions. Subject‐fitted,

Electrostimulation for promoting recovery of movement or functional ability after stroke: systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Electrostimulation might improve motor recovery after stroke by providing neuromuscular re-training. OBJECTIVES: To find if electrostimulation improved functional motor ability, and the ability to undertake activities of daily living.

Development of an IoT Electrostimulator with Closed-Loop Control

Sensors, 2022
The most used approach in the motor rehabilitation of spinal cord injury is functional electrical stimulation. However, current devices do not provide real-time feedback, work in the closed-loop, and became remotely operable. In this scenario, this paper
