The primitive neuroectodermal tumor (NEDT) was first described in 1973 by Hart and Earle in order to characterize an undifferentiated neoplasia of the central nervous system, which represents between 90 and 95% of undifferentiated cells and does not fulfill diagnostic criteria for any other type of neoplasia. The peripheral NEDT on the head and neck is extremely rare, and in a recent literature...

For FES control of incompletely paralyzed lower extremities, various rule-based methods have been proposed. However, the necessity for adequate reliability of sensors and walking phase detection have made such systems difficult to be widely used clinically. In this report, a simple "local EMG-driven FES" system is proposed and shown to be effective in knee extension FES for incomplete paralyses...
