Functional electrical stimulation for stoke rehabilitation

Medical Hypotheses, 2012
tion. Also, regardless of the orthotic benefit of FES, the process of ‘‘learning-relearning’’ could vary from one individual to another depending upon the person’s inherent ability, and the type of neurological disorder and its severity. In general, this hypothesis therefore explains why individual might have short-lasting effect or no overall ...

Bladder inhibition with functional electrical stimulation

Urology, 1975
Spastic or hyperreflex bladder dysfunction can cause frequency, urgency, and incontinence. Detrusor activity was inhibited by FES (functional electrical stimulation) applied to the anal sphincter causing decreased bladder spasticity and increased bladder capacity.

Muscle Fatigue and the Importance of Electrical Stimulation Parameters on Functional Electrical Stimulation

2019
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 ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation for Neuromuscular Applications

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2005
▪ Abstract  Paralyzed or paretic muscles can be made to contract by applying electrical currents to the intact peripheral motor nerves innervating them. When electrically elicited muscle contractions are coordinated in a manner that provides function, the technique is termed functional electrical stimulation (FES). In more than 40 years of FES research,

Functional Electrical Stimulation

IEEE Control Systems, 2008
It is important to evaluate closed-loop FES (functional electrical stimulation) control systems using standard time- and frequency-domain performance metrics to facilitate the discussion of results between research groups. Moreover, uniform reporting of the performance of control methods expedites the process of developing clinically useful controllers

Injectable microstimulator for functional electrical stimulation

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1991
A family of digitally controlled devices is constructed for functional electrical stimulation in which each module is an hermetically sealed glass capsule that is small enough to be injected through the lumen of a hypodermic needle. The overall design and component characteristics of microstimulators that receive power and command signals by inductive ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation for Detrusor Instability

International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 1999
The clinical efficacy of functional electrical stimulation (FES) for female detrusor instability (DI) is reviewed. Various types of FES methods (including anogenital long-term stimulation, short-term maximal stimulation, implantable stimulation and transcutaneous stimulation) have been reported. The therapeutic effects of these approaches were similar:

Advances in implanted functional electrical stimulation

2011 6th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Era (DTIS), 2011
Implanted functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been successfully used in a large set of applications linked to organic deficiencies and sensory disabilities. More recent attempts have been made to use implanted FES for movements or functions restoration in para- and quadriplegic patients.

Cycling by means of functional electrical stimulation

IEEE Transactions on Rehabilitation Engineering, 2000
The goal of this paper was the development of an optimized stimulation pattern of leg muscles that would allow paraplegic subjects to perform the movement of pedaling and thereby to drive a tricycle by means of functional electrical stimulation (FES). To obtain maximum average power output with minimum muscle force, the start, duration and amplitude of
