Functional electrical stimulation therapy for restoration of motor function after spinal cord injury and stroke: a review

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2020
Functional electrical stimulation is a technique to produce functional movements after paralysis. Electrical discharges are applied to a person’s muscles making them contract in a sequence that allows performing tasks such as grasping a key, holding a ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Retraining Reaching and Grasping After Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Neurological conditions like hemiplegia following stroke or tetraplegia following spinal cord injury, result in a massive compromise in motor function. Each of the two conditions can leave individuals dependent on caregivers for the rest of their lives ...

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

Velocity neurons improve performance more than goal or position neurons do in a simulated closed-loop BCI arm-reaching task.

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) that convert brain-recorded neural signals into intended movement commands could eventually be combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation to allow individuals with Spinal Cord Injury to regain effective and intuitive

Mapping critical cortical hubs and white matter pathways by direct electrical stimulation: an original functional atlas of the human brain

NeuroImage, 2020
OBJECTIVE The structural and functional organization of brain networks sub-serving basic daily activities (i.e. language, visuo-spatial cognition, movement, semantics, etc.) are not completely understood to date.

The effects of a robot-assisted arm training plus hand functional electrical stimulation on recovery after stroke: a randomized clinical trial.

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2020
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of unilateral, proximal arm robot-assisted therapy combined with hand functional electrical stimulation to intensive conventional therapy for restoring arm function in subacute stroke survivors. DESIGN This was a single

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.

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.

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
