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 ...

Robot-assisted training with functional electrical stimulation enhances lower extremity function after spinal cord injury.

Artificial organs
INTRODUCTION: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) synchronized with robot-assisted lower extremity training is used in spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation to promote residual function.

Soft robotics and functional electrical stimulation advances for restoring hand function in people with SCI: a narrative review, clinical guidelines and future directions.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Recovery of hand function is crucial for the independence of people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Wearable devices based on soft robotics (SR) or functional electrical stimulation (FES) have been employed to assist the recovery of hand f...

Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a combined virtual reality, robotics and electrical stimulation intervention in upper extremity stroke rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Approximately 80% of individuals with chronic stroke present with long lasting upper extremity (UE) impairments. We designed the perSonalized UPper Extremity Rehabilitation (SUPER) intervention, which combines robotics, virtual reality ac...

Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
BACKGROUND: Electromechanical- and robot-assisted gait-training devices are used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2007 and previously updated in 2017.

Intra-cortical brain-machine interfaces for controlling upper-limb powered muscle and robotic systems in spinal cord injury.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Intracortical brain-machine interface (iBMI) is an assistive strategy to restore lost sensorimotor function by bridging the disrupted neural pathways to reanimate paralyzed limbs. However, to date, none of the studies explored the trade-of...

A Case of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Childhood Stroke Hyperkinesis: A Brief Report.

Developmental neurorehabilitation
AIM: Some conditions within specific populations are so rare rigorous evidence is unavailable. Childhood hyperkinesis is one example, yet presents an opportunity to examine sensation's contribution to motor function.

Reaching exercise for chronic paretic upper extremity after stroke using a novel rehabilitation robot with arm-weight support and concomitant electrical stimulation and vibration: before-and-after feasibility trial.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Our group developed a rehabilitation robot to assist with repetitive, active reaching movement of a paretic upper extremity. The robot is equipped with a servo motor-controlled arm-weight support and works in conjunction with neuromuscula...
