Design and testing of an instrumentation system to reduce stimulus pulse amplitude requirements during FES
Abstract
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has been used for decades to restore muscle function following neural trauma. Another promising use has been to maintain or increase muscle strength following injury. Unfortunately in the latter case there is considerable stimulation pain for the sensorially intact subject during effective levels of stimulation using surface electrodes. Recent research [1][2] has suggested using a constant long (up to 10 …
