Do Electrical Stimulation Devices Reduce Pain and Improve Function?—A Comparative Review
Pain and Therapy, 2023 Background Multiple forms of electrical stimulation (ES) potentially offer widely varying clinical benefits. Diminished function commonly associated with acute and chronic pain lessens productivity and increases medical costs. This review aims to compare

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 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.

Architected Lattices with a Topological Transition
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 This article develops topological metamaterials showing multidirectional two‐step deformation under compression by embedding contact‐enabled topological mechanisms into lattice structures. Experiments on 3D‐printed 2D and 3D lattices and finite element simulations are conducted to demonstrate the working principle of the topological metamaterials.

Biomechanics of functional electrical stimulation [PDF]
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1982 Patients with hemiplegia frequently have difficulty in walking due to lack of eversion and dorsiflexion capability of the foot. One method of treating these patients utilizes functional electrical stimulation (FES). The effect of FES on locomotion, co-ordination, proprioception and balance sense was assessed using instrumented gait analysis and a ...
