Adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation to physiotherapy boosts functional performance in hospitalized patients with ...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology is a new type of treatment, which is through the simulation of the nerve on the muscle issued by the electrical signals for rehabilitation training.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is emerging as a transformative modality in muscle rehabilitation. By delivering controlled electrical impulses to targeted muscles, FES induces contractions ...

Contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation (CCFES) was associated with greater reduction in upper extremity impairment compared with conventional cyclic neuromuscular electrical ...

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

In the last few decades, individuals with mobility issues have seen a flurry of advancements in neuroprosthetic devices, artificial systems that seek to replace a particular sensation or lost ability.

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering, often leaving individuals with severe mobility impairments. While rehabilitation robotics—devices that guide movement during therapy—have improved training for ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

My research focuses on the mechanics and control of human movement with the goal of restoring functional movement to people with disabilities. In this work, I study the properties of the intact body ...

The major area of Dr. Peckham's research is in rehabilitation engineering and neuroprostheses. Dr. Peckham's research effort focuses on functional restoration of the paralyzed upper extremity in ...
