Functional Electrical Stimulation for Control of Internal Organ Function
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, 2001This paper discusses the use of electrical stimulation for cardiac assist and control of bladder and bowel. It describes the state of the art, what progress there will be in the coming 10 years and what problems need to be solved in order to make that progress.

An electrical muscle simulator based on functional electrical stimulation
2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2012Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has already been used in many aspects of rehabilitation medicine as a treatment method. According to the functional electrical stimulation, we present an electrical muscle simulator which can adjust the amplitude, frequency and wave of electrical impulses by button and make the treatment more effective.

An electrical knee lock system for functional electrical stimulation
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1996An electrical knee lock system that can be combined with functional electrical stimulation was designed for paraplegic patients. This knee system unlocks the knee electrically and allows knee flexion during the swing phase of the gait. When the knee is extended by electrical stimulation of the knee extensors, the knee is automatically locked by the ...

Functional electrical stimulation in neurological disorders
European Journal of Neurology, 2008Functional electrical stimulation (FES) refers to electrical stimulation of muscles in order to improve the impaired motor function. This is achieved by activating skeletal muscles with constant frequency trains of stimulations. This method has been found useful in various neurological disorders like hemiplegia, foot drop and paraplegia including ...

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.

Functional electrical stimulation in rehabilitation engineering
Proceedings of the 1st international convention on Rehabilitation engineering & assistive technology: in conjunction with 1st Tan Tock Seng Hospital Neurorehabilitation Meeting, 2007Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is used widely in rehabilitation to restore motor functions for paralyzed patients. This paper makes a comprehensive review on current situation of FES. The content includes stimulation interface, applications, FES control, challenges and prospect of FES.

Functional Electrical Stimulation and rehabilitation—an hypothesis
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2002Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), used to mimic a weak or paralysed movement, sometimes is followed by a specific recovery of voluntary power in that movement. The mechanism by which this occurs is unclear, and the presumption has often been that FES may somehow promote adaptive changes in cortical connectivity.

Functional Electrical Stimulation
2018Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) consists on applying electrical pulses to peripheral motor nerve fibers in order to generate muscle contractions. If these muscle contractions are generated in a coordinated manner aiming at achieving a specific function, it is called Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). Although FES also includes sensory
