Functional Electrical Stimulation

IEEE Control Systems, 2008
It 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

Neuromodulation for Functional Electrical Stimulation

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2019
This 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 for Ejaculation

Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants, 2002
The purpose of this collective review is to discuss the technique and effectiveness of rectal probe electroejaculation in conjunction with various assistive reproductive modalities. The electroejaculation probe is positioned inside the anal ring with the electrodes placed against the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, after which electrostimulation ...

Advances in implanted functional electrical stimulation

2011 6th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Era (DTIS), 2011
Implanted functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been successfully used in a large set of applications linked to organic deficiencies and sensory disabilities. More recent attempts have been made to use implanted FES for movements or functions restoration in para- and quadriplegic patients.

Functional Electrical Stimulation

2015
Regular exercise can be broadly beneficial to health and quality of life in humans with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, exercises must meet certain criteria, such as the intensity and muscle mass involved, to induce significant benefits. SCI patients can have difficulty achieving these exercise requirements since the paralysed muscles cannot ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation for Control of Internal Organ Function

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, 2001
This paper discusses the use of electrical stimulation for cardiac assist and control of bladder and bowel. It describes the state of the art, what progress there will be in the coming 10 years and what problems need to be solved in order to make that progress.

Functional electrical stimulation for stoke rehabilitation

Medical Hypotheses, 2012
tion. 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: An Overview

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1989
The 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,

Functional Electrical Stimulation for a Dropped Foot

Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants, 2002
The purpose of this collective review is to study the techniques, usage, methods, and clinical results of functional electrical stimulation applied to the peroneal nerve in the treatment of dropped foot. When stimulation is applied through surface electrodes, clinical reports have documented the therapeutic and orthotic benefits of functional ...
