Functional Electrical Stimulation and the Modulation of the Axon Regeneration Program
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Neural injury in mammals often leads to persistent functional deficits as spontaneous repair in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is often incomplete, while endogenous repair mechanisms in the central nervous system (CNS) are negligible.

Brain-actuated functional electrical stimulation elicits lasting arm motor recovery after stroke
Nature Communications, 2018 Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of BCI-based therapies remain unclear.

Influence of transcutaneous electrical stimulation on heterotopic ossification: an experimental study in Wistar rats [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2015 Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a metaplastic biological process in which there is newly formed bone in soft tissues, resulting in joint mobility deficit and pain. Different treatment modalities have been tried to prevent HO development, but there is no

Functional electrical stimulation on paraplegic patients
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2014 We report on clinical and physiological effects of 8 months Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of quadriceps femoris muscle on 16 paraplegic patients. Each patient had muscle biopsies, CT-muscle diameter measurements, knee extension strength testing
