Synthetic Aspects and Characterization Needs in MOF Chemistry – from Discovery to Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Overcoming the challenges of phase discovery, synthesis optimization and scale‐up, characterization, and computational studies is essential to accelerate the large‐scale application of MOFs. Life‐cycle analyses and techno‐economic analyses need to be performed to realistically assess their potential for industrial relevance.

Functional Electrical Stimulation

Neuroprosthetics and Brain-Computer Interfaces in Spinal Cord Injury, 2021
The 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

Springer Theses, 2018
Neuromuscular 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 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Tetraplegia can lead to chronic respiratory failure. The need for tracheostomy mechanical ventilation significantly increases the cost of care, decreases the quality of life of the patient, and decreases life expectancy in spinal cord injury (SCI) because of pneumonias. Phrenic nerve stimulation was initially developed in the 1960s and diaphragm pacing

Functional Electrical Stimulation

Artificial Life and Robotics, 2000
If a motor nerve is stimulated from an external electrode, the resulting action potential will propagate to the innervated muscle and a twitch will be produced. The muscle responds to the artificially initiated nerve signal just as it would a naturally occurring signal.

Functional electrical stimulation [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysiological Measurement, 1997
In the health-care professions, electrical stimulation is used for three purposes: to aid diagnosis; as a therapeutic tool; and to restore lost or damaged functions. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and functional neurostimulation (FNS) are terms which are more or less interchangeable, and which encompass the third of these purposes.
