Bladder inhibition with functional electrical stimulation

Urology, 1975
Spastic or hyperreflex bladder dysfunction can cause frequency, urgency, and incontinence. Detrusor activity was inhibited by FES (functional electrical stimulation) applied to the anal sphincter causing decreased bladder spasticity and increased bladder capacity.

Injectable microstimulator for functional electrical stimulation

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1991
A family of digitally controlled devices is constructed for functional electrical stimulation in which each module is an hermetically sealed glass capsule that is small enough to be injected through the lumen of a hypodermic needle. The overall design and component characteristics of microstimulators that receive power and command signals by inductive ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation for Detrusor Instability

International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 1999
The clinical efficacy of functional electrical stimulation (FES) for female detrusor instability (DI) is reviewed. Various types of FES methods (including anogenital long-term stimulation, short-term maximal stimulation, implantable stimulation and transcutaneous stimulation) have been reported. The therapeutic effects of these approaches were similar:

Intelligent Functional Electrical Stimulation

2019
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) holds the premises to artificially control the musculoskeletal system aiming to improve quality of life in e.g. multiple sclerosis patients, or to provide targeted rehabilitation in e.g. stroke patients. Besides some neuromuscular stimulators which are widely used within FES clinics (e.g.

Cycling by means of functional electrical stimulation

IEEE Transactions on Rehabilitation Engineering, 2000
The goal of this paper was the development of an optimized stimulation pattern of leg muscles that would allow paraplegic subjects to perform the movement of pedaling and thereby to drive a tricycle by means of functional electrical stimulation (FES). To obtain maximum average power output with minimum muscle force, the start, duration and amplitude of

Functional Electrical Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury: Clinical Evidence Versus Daily Practice.

Artificial Organs, 2015
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has clinical evidence in the rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury as indicated by several studies. Both inpatients and outpatients benefit from the therapeutic effect of the FES. The application areas

Electrical stimulation for restoration of function

NeuroRehabilitation, 1999
Electrical stimulation is a promising method for restoration of muscle and limb function for individuals with a variety of motor disabilities. Rehabilitation applications of functional electrical stimulation (FES) include restoration of standing and gait, activation of rudimentary grasp, motor retraining and bladder management. Simple standing and gait

Biofeedback and Functional Electrical Stimulation

2007
Despite a high prevalence of urinary incontinence in society, its pathophysiology is not yet fully understood. A complex interaction between the pelvic structures and the nervous system is required to maintain continence. By providing support to the abdomino-pelvic viscera, the pelvic floor plays a pivotal role in the continence mechanism.
