Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is emerging as a transformative modality in muscle rehabilitation. By delivering controlled electrical impulses to targeted muscles, FES induces contractions ...

Adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation to physiotherapy boosts functional performance in hospitalized patients with ...

The FESGlove system integrates a multi-channel stimulator, a human-machine interface, and a wearable glove with embedded silver fiber and hydrogel electrodes. Functional electrical stimulation is ...

Some robots can create an additional clinical benefit in the rehabilitation of stroke patients as a supplement to standard therapy. For another method, the functional electrical stimulation of ...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology is a new type of treatment, which is through the simulation of the nerve on the muscle issued by the electrical signals for rehabilitation training.

Some 33 million people in the U.S., or 1 in 7 Americans, have disabilities related to mobility, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Considered something of a silent health ...

A new study led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that the use of a take-home electrical stimulation device improved muscle perfusion, the rate at which oxygen is delivered to muscles ...

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

My research focuses on the mechanics and control of human movement with the goal of restoring functional movement to people with disabilities. In this work, I study the properties of the intact body ...
