Functional electrical stimulation (FES), often called NMES, or neuromuscular electrical stimulation, has been around for a long, long time as a tool for physical therapist to use to retrain damage and ...

A new technique uses a glove on the unaffected hand to send electrical stimulation to nerves in the stroke-affected hand. Researchers report that the best improvement was noted in patients who had ...

A new mobility sleeve under development and out of stealth promises a compelling solution for those suffering a variety of mobility issues. Combining two critical signal technologies to both monitor ...

Contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation (CCFES), managed by the patient, is superior to therapist-controlled cyclic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (cNMES) in improving hand ...

A novel therapy has been devised for survivors of stroke with hand weakness to help improve hand function through the use of a glove that delivers electrical stimulation. Hand functionality was ...

Experimental research is aiming to help paralysis victims regain their sense of touch. Miles O’Brien reports on a project run by the Cleveland Functional Electrical Stimulation Center, which is a ...

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 ...

A wearable FES-robot hybrid training system has been designed for multi-joint upper limb rehabilitation. With successful combination of the two technologies' advantages, recovery achieved by the ...

Vibrating tingles of electricity worm into the thin legs of paralyzed children, pulling at their muscles to pump up and down on a special bicycle. It’s called electrical stimulation exercise therapy, ...
