▪ Abstract Paralyzed or paretic muscles can be made to contract by applying electrical
currents to the intact peripheral motor nerves innervating them. When electrically elicited …

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical uses of neuromuscular
electrical stimulation (NMES) for functional and therapeutic applications in subjects with …

Muscle function loss can result from multiple nervous system diseases including spinal cord
injury (SCI), stroke, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Electrical muscle stimulation is clinically …

The authors review recent efforts to design stimulus waveforms for selective electrical
stimulation of the nervous system. Two types of selectivity are considered. Fiber diameter …
