Effects of Gait Rehabilitation Robot Combined with Electrical Stimulation on Spinal Cord Injury Patients' Blood Pressure.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: Orthostatic hypotension can occur during acute spinal cord injury (SCI) and subsequently persist. We investigated whether a gait rehabilitation robot combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) stabilizes hemodynamics during ort...

Consumer views of functional electrical stimulation and robotic exoskeleton in SCI rehabilitation: A mini review.

Artificial organs
BACKGROUND: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic exoskeletons represent emerging technologies with significant potential for restoring critical physical functions such as standing and walking-functions that are most susceptible after s...

Effects of end-effector robotic arm reach training with functional electrical stimulation for chronic stroke survivors.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Upper-extremity dysfunction significantly affects dependence in the daily lives of stroke survivors, limiting their participation in the social environment and reducing their quality of life.

A new modular neuroprosthesis suitable for hybrid FES-robot applications and tailored assistance.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: To overcome the application limitations of functional electrical stimulation (FES), such as fatigue or nonlinear muscle response, the combination of neuroprosthetic systems with robotic devices has been evaluated, resulting in hybrid syst...

MEFFNet: Forecasting Myoelectric Indices of Muscle Fatigue in Healthy and Post-Stroke During Voluntary and FES-Induced Dynamic Contractions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Myoelectric indices forecasting is important for muscle fatigue monitoring in wearable technologies, adaptive control of assistive devices like exoskeletons and prostheses, functional electrical stimulation (FES)-based Neuroprostheses, and more. Non-...

Predicting Therapeutic Response to Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Using Deep Learning.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models using drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) images to predict the therapeutic efficacy of hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HGNS) implantation.

Impact of functional electrical stimulation on nerve-damaged muscles by quantifying fat infiltration using deep learning.

Scientific reports
Quantitative imaging in life sciences has evolved into a powerful approach combining advanced microscopy acquisition and automated analysis of image data. The focus of the present study is on the imaging-based evaluation of the posterior cricoaryteno...

Robot-assisted support combined with electrical stimulation for the lower extremity in stroke patients: a systematic review.

Journal of neural engineering
. The incidence of stroke rising, leading to an increased demand for rehabilitation services. Literature has consistently shown that early and intensive rehabilitation is beneficial for stroke patients. Robot-assisted devices have been extensively st...

A hybrid orthosis combining functional electrical stimulation and soft robotics for improved assistance of drop-foot.

Medical engineering & physics
Drop-foot is characterised by an inability to lift the foot, and affects an estimated 3 million people worldwide. Current treatment methods include rigid splints, electromechanical systems, and functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, these ...
