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

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.

Adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to physiotherapy in hospitalized patients with severe heart failure (HF) — including recent heart transplant recipients and those with implanted ...

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, ...

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.

In the field of neurorehabilitation, nerve injury, resulting from trauma, disease, or iatrogenic factors, often leads to irreversible sensory, motor, and ...

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 ...

Bottom line: This study found that, in rats, acute nerve injuries that may recover can be distinguished from those that are unlikely to recover based on the response to intraoperative electrical nerve ...

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 ...
