Design of Monophasic Spike-Exponential Waveform for Functional Electrical Stimulator Based on Pulse Width Modulation
The Functional Electrical Stimulator design using monophasic spike-exponential waveform was proposed and described in this study. The monophasic square waveform has benefit in generating an action potential, but it could cause side effects such as toxic caused by the electrode polarization. The square waveform signal which the frequency and pulse width could be modulated was manipulated to be t...
متن کاملAn Implantable Foot Drop Stimulator
A novel partially implantable system for correction of foot drop has been developed and is being tested in three volunteer subjects. The system consists of a two-channel implantable stimulator, a multi-polar nerve cuff electrode implanted on the peroneal nerve proximal to the knee, and an external system including battery, control and telemetry unit and a heel switch. Although the work is still...
متن کاملDrop foot treatment: Functional electrical stimulation
Background: The gait pattern after stroke can be disturbed by foot drop. The conventional approach to the treatment of drop foot gait is a splint, the ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). An active approach is functional electrical stimulation (FES). Functional electrical stimulation (FES) refers to electrical stimulation of muscles in order to improve the impaired motor function. This is achieved by act...
متن کاملFeasibility of Using Lokomat Combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation for the Rehabilitation of Foot Drop
This study investigated the clinical feasibility of combining the electromechanical gait trainer Lokomat with functional electrical therapy (LokoFET), stimulating the common peroneal nerve during the swing phase of the gait cycle to correct foot drop as an integrated part of gait therapy. Five patients with different acquired brain injuries trained with LokoFET 2-3 times a week for 3-4 weeks. P...
متن کاملDoes functional electrical stimulation for foot drop strengthen corticospinal connections?
BACKGROUND Long-term use of a foot-drop stimulator applying functional electrical stimulation (FES) to the common peroneal nerve improves walking performance even when the stimulator is off. This "therapeutic" effect might result from neuroplastic changes. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of long-term use of a foot-drop stimulator on residual corticospinal connections in people with central ...
