Electrical Stimulation of Afferent Pathways for the Suppression of Pathological Tremor
Pathological tremors are involuntary oscillatory movements which cannot be fully attenuated using conventional treatments. For this reason, several studies have investigated the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation for tremor suppression. In a recent study, however, we found that electrical stimulation below the motor threshold also suppressed tremor, indicating involvement of afferent p...
متن کاملRepetitive Control of Electrical Stimulation for Tremor Suppression
Tremor is a rapid involuntary movement often seen in patients with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease. This debilitating oscillation can be suppressed by applying functional electrical stimulation (FES) within a closed-loop control system. However, conventional implementations use classical control methods and have proved capable of only limited perf...
متن کاملCurrent Progress on Pathological Tremor Modeling and Active Compensation using Functional Electrical Stimulation
Pathological tremor is an involuntary and roughly periodic movement of a body part. It is the most common movement disorder and its incidence increases with aging. Upper limb tremor can cause difficulties in performing simple activities of daily living like buttoning, inserting a key into a keyhole and writing. The proposed active tremor compensation method involves 3 stages: sensing, filtering...
متن کاملSensory electrical stimulation for suppression of postural tremor in patients with essential tremor.
Essential tremor is an involuntary trembling of body limbs in people without tremor-related disease. In previous study, suppression of tremor by sensory electrical stimulation was confirmed on the index finger. This study investigates the effect of sensory stimulation on multiple segments and joints of the upper limb. It denotes the observation regarding the effect's continuity after halting th...
متن کاملTremor Suppression by Rhythmic Transcranial Current Stimulation
Tremor can dominate Parkinson's disease and yet responds less well to dopaminergic medications than do other cardinal symptoms of this condition. Deep brain stimulation can provide striking tremor relief, but the introduction of stimulating electrodes deep in the substance of the brain carries significant risks, including those of hemorrhage. Here, we pioneer an alternative approach in which we...
