Upper limb motor deficits in severe stroke survivors often remain unresolved over extended
time periods. Novel neurotechnologies have the potential to significantly support upper limb …

The application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to paretic limbs has
demonstrated utility for motor rehabilitation following brain injury. When NMES is delivered …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Advanced technological solutions
(" neurotechnologies") exploiting robotic systems and electrodes that stimulate the nervous …

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal
cord injury, are leading causes of long-term disability. It is estimated that more than half of …

Objectives (1) To elucidate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
toward improving activities of daily living (ADL) and functional motor ability post stroke and …

Objective: Myoelectric pattern recognition has been successfully applied as a human-
machine interface to control robotic devices such as prostheses and exoskeletons …

Background. Clinical trials have demonstrated some benefits of electromyogram-
triggered/controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation (EMG-NMES) on motor recovery of …

A majority of the seven million stroke survivors in the US have hand impairments, adversely
affecting performance of a variety of activities of daily living, because of the fundamental role …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is capable of activating muscles that are under-
recruited in neurological diseases, such as stroke. Therefore, FES provides a promising …

Background and Purpose—It is unknown whether one method of neuromuscular electrical
stimulation for poststroke upper limb rehabilitation is more effective than another. Our aim …
