Functional electrical stimulation (FES) for children and young people with cerebral palsy

Paediatrics and Child Health (United Kingdom), 2019
Abstract Evidence for functional electrical stimulation (FES) as a treatment option in adult neurological conditions has grown over the last 25 years. Children and young people with neurological conditions can also benefit from FES treatments but there are gaps in clinical knowledge, awareness and evidence which need addressing.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)—Therapeutical potentials for presbyphonia

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023
Presbyphonia, an age-related decrease in voice quality is a consequence of vocal muscle atrophy. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) was introduced as a potential treatment to increase the muscle volume. In this study, we analyzed the effects of FES using ex vivo sheep larynx models. To stimulate the thyroarytenoid muscle, electrodes were implanted

A Programmable System of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
The development of a novel system intended to perform functional electrical stimulation (FES) is presented. A virtual instrument developed in Labview communicates with a PC through USB and controls the hardware compound of analog and digital circuits. The block diagram of the hardware and the main characteristics of the virtual instrument are presented,

Basic functional electrical stimulation (FES) of extremities: An engineer's view

Technology and Health Care, 2010
The historical development of electrical stimulators producing contraction of paralyzed muscles is briefly presented. The influence of electrical stimulation parameters (amplitude of pulses, frequency, pulse duration, and duration of a pulse train) is explained. Special attention is paid to the description of the muscle recruitment curve.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for spinal cord injury

2003
Restoration of respiratory motion by stimulation of the phrenic nerve was investigated. Respiratory motion was restored successfully by introducing a breathing pacemaker to a patient with respiratory disturbance due to upper cervical spinal cord injury.

The effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) on paraplegic muscle fatigue

2012 IEEE 8th International Colloquium on Signal Processing and its Applications, 2012
Stimulation trains of different combination of frequency and pulse-width can be used to generate the muscle force required to perform a functional task during functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, with repetitive activation, the muscle will fatigue and an increase in either the frequency or the pulse-width of stimulation will be required to

Electromyography-Based Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in Rehabilitation

2016
Loss or impairment in the ability of muscle movement or sensation is called Paralysis which is caused by disruption of communication of nerve impulses along the pathway from the brain to the muscles. One of the principal reasons causing paralysis is Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and Neurological rehabilitation by using neuro-prostheses, based on Functional ...

Reconstruction of upper limb motor function using functional electrical stimulation (FES)

2007
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) techniques progress by adopting the developments in computers and engineering, but complete functional reconstruction is not yet possible to be achieved. The attachment of the devices to the body can be complex, and training to handle FES is not easy.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in Micturition Disorders

2014
Electrical stimulation has been employed for over 50 years as a complementary therapeutic tool in rehabilitative conservative treatment of stress and mixed urinary incontinence either in female or male adult subjects but also as symptomatic treatment of overactive bladder and chronic pelvic pain.

The design of non-invasive functional electrical stimulation (FES) for restoration of muscle function

2012 International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering (ICCCE), 2012
The idea of an FES is to stimulate the contraction of paralyzed muscles by inducing electrical pulses. Recent studies have demonstrated that the intervention of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) have improved patients with paralyzed muscle injuries.
