Bladder inhibition with functional electrical stimulation
Urology, 1975Spastic 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.

Functional Electrical Stimulation: An Overview
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1989The development of future neural prostheses involves much more than connecting commercially available stimulators to disabled individuals. Safe and effective operation of prostheses requires fundamental studies of the electrode‐tissue interface. The electrochemistry of the interface must be controlled to prevent toxic byproducts.

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,

Transcutaneous Functional Electrical Stimulator “Compex Motion”
Artificial Organs, 2002Abstract: Research groups in the field of functional electrical stimulation (FES) are often confronted with the fact that existing and commercially available FES stimulators do not provide sufficient flexibility and cannot be used to perform different FES tasks.

Modular transcutaneous functional electrical stimulation system
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2005A new multipurpose programmable transcutaneous electric stimulator, Compex Motion, was developed to allow users to design various custom-made neuroprostheses, neurological assessment devices, muscle exercise systems, and experimental setups for physiological studies. Compex Motion can generate any arbitrary stimulation sequence, which can be controlled

Injectable microstimulator for functional electrical stimulation
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1991A 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 ...

Advances in implanted functional electrical stimulation
2011 6th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Era (DTIS), 2011Implanted 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.

Intelligent Functional Electrical Stimulation
2019Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) holds the premises to artificially control the musculoskeletal system aiming to improve quality of life in e.g. multiple sclerosis patients, or to provide targeted rehabilitation in e.g. stroke patients. Besides some neuromuscular stimulators which are widely used within FES clinics (e.g.

Functional Electrical Stimulation for Detrusor Instability
International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 1999The 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:

Maximal functional electrical stimulation in routine practice
Neurourology and Urodynamics, 1997Maximal functional electrical stimulation is now an established treatment for urgency and urge incontinence. Many studies have been presented with good and consistent results. In a number of prospective studies we have previously recorded very favourable effects in stress incontinence and urge incontinence.
