Neuromodulation for Functional Electrical Stimulation
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2019This article describes the application of neuromodulation in different ways to motor recovery, to replace lost function, or to improve function of organ systems for those who have experienced spinal cord injury or stroke. Multiple devices have been developed and are currently available for use whereas others are still in the experimental stage ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation
2021The activation of excitable biological tissues such as nerves and muscles by external electrical stimulation follows well-studied neurophysiological principles. Similar to the physiological condition, the nerve membrane is depolarized by the stimulus until the activation threshold is reached and action potentials are triggered for generation of muscle ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation
IEEE Control Systems, 2008It 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

Functional electrical stimulation for stoke rehabilitation
Medical Hypotheses, 2012tion. 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 ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation Bicycle Ergometry
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1989Forty-seven patients who had participated in a clinical electrical stimulation ergometry program were administered a questionnaire to determine their perceptions of the therapy. Improved endurance was reported by 62% of paraplegics and 65% of quadriplegics. Sixty-two percent of paraplegics and 56% of quadriplegics reported improved self-image, while 54%

NEUROENDOCRINE CHANGES DURING FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1992This study examined the effects of a computerized functional electrical stimulation exercise program on plasma beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity (BEP-ir), cortisol levels and depression parameters in spinal cord-injured individuals. Nine subjects from 1.2 to 33.5 yr postinjury with both motor and sensory complete lesions between C5 and T12 ...

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.
