Differences in quadriceps femoris muscle torque when using a clinical electrical stimulator versus a portable electrical stimulator.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There have been conflicting views and evidence reported in the literature concerning differences in muscle torque-generating capacities between clinical ("plug-in") console devices whose power source is provided by an electrical outlet (60 Hz, alternating current-driven) and portable electrical muscle stimulators (smaller, battery-operated stimulators). The purpose of thi...
متن کاملFactors influencing quadriceps femoris muscle torque using transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
Quadriceps femoris muscle torque was measured in 40 subjects during transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Three different electrode types (carbonized rubber, sponge, and adhesive) were used on each subject, permitting determination of the factors that influenced the magnitude of quadriceps femoris muscle torque induced by NMES. This goal was accomplished by entering the va...
متن کاملA Versatile Multichannel Electrical Stimulator for
Functional electrical stimulation has been applied to restore the muscle activity of paralyzed patients who suffer from spinal cord injuries and related neural impairments for several decades. In this paper, a direct-synthesized arbitrary waveform stimulator for multichannel FES applications is described. A novel element-envelope method is proposed. A digital signal processor is chosen to synth...
متن کاملElectrical Muscle Stimulator with Duration and Intensity Control
67 Abstract— This paper deals with a new embedded method for Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyo stimulation. It is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. The EMS provides remote patient monitoring in healthcare field. The primary function of the system aims in designing an Electrical muscle stimula...
متن کاملWireless Neural Stimulator with Adjustable Electrical Quantity
The neural stimulation has been gaining much interest in neuromodulation research and clinical trials. For efficiency, there is a need for variable electrical stimulation such as current and voltage stimuli as well as wireless framework. In this regard, we develop the wireless neural stimulator capable of voltage and current stimuli. The system consists of ZigBee which is a wireless communicati...
