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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For those who suffer from pain, it can be difficult to navigate their daily lives. Often, pain sufferers try to find ways to cope with the discomfort, relying on medication, various therapies, and ...

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 ...
