Severe skeletal muscle injury, especially volumetric muscle loss, remains difficult to treat because effective regeneration ...

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

All participants undergo a baseline assessment on day 1; in the EES+PT group, an epidural electrode is implanted on day 2, stimulation programs are initiated on postoperative day 1 and iteratively ...

New research suggests that paralyzed patients could regain some degree of movement — perhaps even walk again. In a study led by EPFL (Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne) and Lausanne ...

With a zap of electricity from well-placed electrodes on the back of the neck, patients with tetraplegia can regain some modest yet potentially “life-changing” functioning of their hands and arms, ...

The FESGlove system integrates a multi-channel stimulator, a human-machine interface, and a wearable glove with embedded silver fiber and hydrogel electrodes. Functional electrical stimulation is ...

Evolution Devices, a health company focused on digital-physical therapy, has launched EvoWalk. The platform uses artificial intelligence that will give hope to those people who have trouble walking.

Sarcopenia affects up to 16% of the world’s aging population and is one of the leading factors in the loss of independence. Marked by a loss of both muscle mass and function or strength, it’s behind ...

Brain stimulation therapy is a category of procedures in which electrodes or magnets, usually placed on the scalp or inserted into the brain, are used to treat some neurological disorders or serious ...

Researchers have mapped nine functional networks in the deep-brain structures of 10 healthy people, an accomplishment that could lead to improvements in deep-brain stimulation therapy for severe cases ...
