Anatomically based lower limb nerve model for electrical stimulation

Anatomically based lower limb nerve model for electrical stimulation

BACKGROUND Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a technique that aims to rehabilitate or restore functionality of skeletal muscles using external electrical stimulation. Despite the success achieved within the field of FES, there are still a number of questions that remain unanswered. One way of providing input to the answers is through the use of computational models. METHODS This pape...

Prevention of venous stasis in the lower limb by transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.

OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the effects of thromboprophylactic transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TpTENS) of the peroneal nerve on venous blood flow in the limbs of volunteers. TpTENS might be considered for use in preventing venous stasis during surgical treatment. METHODS In 10 volunteers, peak venous velocity (PV) and flow volume (FV) in the popliteal vein were meas...

Upper and Lower Limb Electrical Stimulation in Paediatrics

Held at Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton, London Thursday, 13th June 2002 The aim of the workshop was to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas in an informal setting. There were eight presentations covering many aspects of upper and lower limb stimulation. These were followed by an open discussion. The workshop confirmed that there is considerable interest in stimulation for the paediat...
