Tohoku J.Exp.Med.,2003,201(2),91-96――Grasping power(GP)by means of functional electrical stimulation (FES)was measured in a case of C6 complete tetraplegia.This was compared with GP by means of the dyna...

A prototype of wireless surface electrical stimulation system combined with the fuzzy FES controller was developed for rehabilitation training with functional electrical stimulation (FES). The developed FES system has three features for rehabilitation training: small-sized electrical stimulator for surface FES, wireless connection between controller and stimulators, and between controller and s...

Background: The gait pattern after stroke can be disturbed by foot drop. The conventional approach to the treatment of drop foot gait is a splint, the ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). An active approach is functional electrical stimulation (FES). Functional electrical stimulation (FES) refers to electrical stimulation of muscles in order to improve the impaired motor function. This is achieved by act...

Sequel to spinal cord injury (SCI), functional impairment is sustained and the SCI individuals are often confined to wheelchair usage. Current trends of walking rehabilitation adopted is functional electrical stimulation (FES) assisted gait with partial body weight support. However, lack of lower limb proprioception, inability to control complex joint trajectory, rapid energy consumption, unsta...

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is the production of electrically elicited muscle contractions to perform a function or task. It has been used as a method to regain lost body functions or support weak body functions, and as such, has been clinically available since the early seventies. Some methods are applied routinely while others have not been translated to the bedside, or are still ...

In this study, we proposed a novel machine-learning-based functional electrical stimulation (FES) control algorithm to enhance gait rehabilitation in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. The of the muscles on paretic side was controlled via deep neural networks, which were trained using muscle activity data from healthy people during gait. performance developed system comparison with that conventio...

[Purpose] This study sought to determine the effects of brain-computer interface-based functional electrical stimulation (BCI-FES) on brain activation in patients with stroke. [Subjects] The subjects were randomized to in a BCI-FES group (n=5) and a functional electrical stimulation (FES) group (n=5). [Methods] Patients in the BCI-FES group received ankle dorsiflexion training with FES for 30 m...

[Purpose] Evaluating the effect of brain-computer interface (BCI)-based functional electrical stimulation (FES) training on brain activity in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) was the aim of this study. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects were randomized into a BCI-FES group (n=9) and a functional electrical stimulation (FES) control group (n=9). Subjects in the BCI-FES group received wrist...

As a neuroprosthetic technique, functional electrical stimulation (FES) can restore lost motor performance of impaired patients. Through delivering electrical pulses to target muscles, the joint movement can be eventually elicited. This work presents a real-time FES system which is able to deal with two neuroprosthetic missions: one is estimating FES-induced joint torque with evoked electromyog...
