Repetitive Grasping After Stroke Assisted by Functional Electrical Stimulation
To understand whether FES can be useful in assisting functional grasping after stroke, the following requirements were investigated: (i) producing sufficient force, (ii) sustaining this force for an adequate duration, (iii) successfully releasing the object, and (iv) monitoring the onset of muscle fatigue during repetitive grasping.

TESCS‐ABT induced neurophysiological changes in individuals with chronic complete SCI, however these did not consistently translate into functional improvements. These findings highlight the role of residual supraspinal connectivity and inform future research to optimise this neurotechnology for SCI rehabilitation and identify likely responders ...

Skeletal Muscle Adaptation to Spasticity
Spasticity, a neurological problem secondary to an up permotor neuron lesion, has a significant effect on skeletal muscle. The upper motor neuron lesions may be secondary to a cerebral vascular accident, head injury, spinal cord injury, or degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, or perinatal brain injuries such as cerebral palsy.

Electrical Stimulation of Denervated Muscle: A Narrative Review
This review explores existing strategies for stimulating denervated muscle following lower motor neuron injury, including direct electrical stimulation of the muscle and artificial reinnervation to enable more comfortable and efficient indirect functional muscle stimulation.
