Facial neuromuscular electrical stimulation (fNMES), which allows for the non-invasive and
physiologically sound activation of facial muscles, has great potential for investigating …

Wearable technology to augment traditional approaches are increasingly being added to the
arsenals of treatment providers. Wearable technology generally refers to electronic systems …

Individuals with a locked-in state live with severe whole-body paralysis that limits their ability
to communicate with family and loved ones. Recent advances in brain–computer interface …

Purpose To evaluate optimal stimulation parameters with regard to discomfort and
tolerability for transcutaneous electrostimulation of facial muscles in healthy participants and …

Background Studies on facial feedback effects typically employ props or posed facial
expressions, which often lack temporal precision and muscle specificity. New method Facial …

This article introduces a non-intrusive method to estimate facial muscle activity from images,
diverging from conventional electrode-based approaches. Our methodology capitalizes on …

Reanimation of paralysed facial muscles by electrical stimulation has been studied
extensively in animal models, but human studies in this field are largely lacking. Twenty-four …

Paralysis is a frequent phenomenon in many diseases, and to date, only functional electrical
stimulation (FES) mediated via the innervating nerve can be employed to restore skeletal …

Background The intensity of electrical acupoint stimulation such as electroacupuncture (EA)
and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is regulated by the observation of …

Studies on the effects of the pulse waveform used in electrical muscle stimulation on the
activations and perceived discomfort of the waveform have been mainly executed on limb …
