A survey on foot drop and functional electrical stimulation

International Journal of Intelligent Robotics and Applications, 2019
The weakness of the lower leg muscles due to nerve damage or muscle weakness can result in foot drop, a change in gait that manifests as an inability to lift the toes of the foot when walking.

Long-term changes in functional connectivity predict responses to intracranial stimulation of the human brain [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Targeted electrical stimulation of the brain perturbs neural networks and modulates their rhythmic activity both at the site of stimulation and at remote brain regions. Understanding, or even predicting, this neuromodulatory effect is crucial for any therapeutic use of brain stimulation.

Controlling the Cadence and Admittance of a Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycle

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering, 2019
For an individual suffering from a neurological condition, such as spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or stroke, motorized functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling is a rehabilitation strategy, which offers numerous health benefits ...

Effects of electrical and optogenetic deep brain stimulation on synchronized oscillatory activity in Parkinsonian basal ganglia [PDF]

IEEE Trans Neural Syst Rehabil Eng 25:2188-2195, 2017, 2017
Conventional deep brain stimulation (DBS) of basal ganglia uses high-frequency regular electrical pulses to treat Parkinsonian motor symptoms and has a series of limitations. Relatively new and not yet clinically tested optogenetic stimulation is an effective experimental stimulation technique to affect pathological network dynamics.

Multifunctional fiber-based optoacoustic emitter for non-genetic bidirectional neural communication [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
A bidirectional brain interface with both "write" and "read" functions can be an important tool for fundamental studies and potential clinical treatments for neurological diseases. Here we report a miniaturized multifunctional fiber based optoacoustic emitter (mFOE) that first integrates simultaneous non-genetic optoacoustic stimulation for "write" and
