This review presents technologies used in and assesses the main clinical outcomes of
electrical therapies designed to speed up and increase functional recovery in stroke …

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) amplifies the electrical activity of nerves at the stump
of amputees by redirecting them in remnant muscles above the amputation. The electrical …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) to lower extremity (LE) muscles is used by individuals
post-stroke as an alternative to mechanical orthotic devices during gait or as a training …

Since the early 1960s, electrical or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been
used to support the rehabilitation of stroke patients. One of the earliest applications of NMES …

Objectives For rehabilitation of the poststroke upper limb in seven subjects, an external
