Open full text 14 citations

Abstract

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has shown effectiveness in restoring movement post-stroke when applied to assist participants’ voluntary intention during repeated, motivating tasks. Recent clinical trials have used advanced controllers with non-contact sensor feedback that precisely adjusts FES via an electrode array to assist functional reach and grasp tasks, giving rise to significant reduction in impairment. The paper described the most recent development of this research, culminating in a compact system suitable for transference to patients’ homes, with the intention of reducing upper-limb impairment following chronic stroke.
