Delivering short trains of electric pulses to the muscles and nerves can elicit action
potentials resulting in muscle contractions. When the stimulations are sequenced to …

In the last 2 decades, neuromuscular electrical stimulation has been used increasingly in
deconditioned patients with the aim of increasing muscle force. Much basic research has …

Objective To compare the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and
transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) on hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP). Design This is …

Skeletal muscles generate force, enabling movement through a series of fast electro-
mechanical activations coordinated by the central nervous system. Understanding the …

In modern Western societies, sedentary behavior has become a growing health concern.
There is increasing evidence that prolonged sitting periods can be associated with …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be used as a neuroprosthesis in which muscles
are stimulated by electrical pulses to compensate for the loss of voluntary movement control …

Objectives The corticospinal system (CS) regulates muscle activation through shifts in
muscle-level tonic stretch-reflex thresholds (TSRT). This ability is impaired in stroke and …

It is still challenging to achieve a complex grasp or fine finger control by using surface
functional electrical stimulation (FES), which usually requires a precise electrode …

Muscular activity in terms of surface electromyography (sEMG) is usually normalised to
maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs). This study aims to compare two different …

Objective. Restoration of motor function in paralyzed limbs using functional electrical
stimulation (FES) is undermined by rapid fatigue associated with artificial stimulation …
