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

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 ...

Advances in functional electrical stimulation (FES)
Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2014This review discusses the advancements that are needed to enhance the effects of electrical stimulation for restoring or assisting movement in humans with an injury/disease of the central nervous system. A complex model of the effects of electrical stimulation of peripheral systems is presented.
