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

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 ...

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 ...

Early neuro-physiotherapy is a cornerstone of effective neurological rehabilitation. By addressing impairments early, ...

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 ...

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, ...

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.

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in vagus nerve stimulation. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection ...

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 ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers carrying out a small pilot clinical trial demonstrating that a drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive ...
