Functional Electrical Stimulation assisted cycling (FES-Cycling) is increasingly becoming an alternative option recommended to people with spinal cord injury struggling with paraplegia and interested in practicing sports. In order to propose preconditions to guide FES-Cycling recommendation, we aimed to investigate some features and their potential relationships with responsiveness to Neuromusc...

The Feedback Error Learning (FEL) for Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) controller was examined through computer simulation using a musculoskeletal model. Feedforward controller of the FEL controller consisted of the inverse dynamics model (IDM) and the inverse statics model (ISM) in order to achieve successful learning. The new controller showed better performance in learning of the feed...

A retrospective study of 241 clinical cases, utilizing over 1800 Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) treatments to alleviate epaxial muscle spasms, showed that almost 80% (191) of the horses had a 1-grade improvement in muscle spasms after 2 FES treatments, based on the Modified Ashworth Scale adapted to horses. In addition, 60% (142) of these horses showed a sustained improvement for a min...

This study was conducted to investigate the change in the kinematics and physiological cost of walking that occurs during training with functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted walking in persons with incomplete injuries. The main effect of FES-assisted walking was to change hip excursion and ankle dorsiflexion during swing and at foot contact, whereas training with FES-assisted walking...

Background and Objectives: To conduct a systemic review to summarize the effect of surface electrical stimulation (SES) in treatment of problems that affects the motor performance of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Data Sources: 50 cerebral palsy and electrical stimulation studies were identified and only 25 studies were accepted. Data extraction: Studies were classified according to the lev...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of unsupervised community use of an array-based automated setup functional electrical stimulator for current foot-drop functional electrical stimulation (FES) users. DESIGN Feasibility study. SETTING Gait laboratory and community use. PARTICIPANTS Participants (N=7) with diagnosis of unilateral foot-drop of central neurologic origin (>6mo) who were...

The purpose of this study was to develop a practical functional electrical stimulation (FES) controller for joint movements restoration based on an optimal control technique by cascading linear model predictive (MPC) and nonlinear transformation. configuration aimed obtain FES that is able deal with system. transformation utilized transform the solution MPC become in form optimized intensity. F...

Conventional therapies do not provide paralyzed patients with closed-loop sensorimotor integration for motor rehabilitation. Paired associative stimulation (PAS) uses brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to monitor patients' movement imagery in real-time, and utilizes the information to control functional electrical stimulation (FES) and bar feedback for complete sensorimotor closed loop. ...

This presentation will review briefly the current practice and state of the art in functional electrical stimulation (FES) as applied to stroke, head injured or brain tumour operated patients. A similar application is used in paretic patients following trauma or other aetiology. Over 20 years experience in the application of FES, as practised in Ljubljana, will be highlighted and the devices cu...

Light and electron microscopy and antibody for embryonic myosin show that myogenic regenerative events are present in human muscle up to 37-year postspinal cord injury. After 5 years of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in the recovered muscles regenerative events are present, but at a lower rate than in longterm denervated muscles. We conclude that the FES-training of paraplegic subjects...
