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.

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, ...

Last spring, CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley led viewers of the popular 60 Minutes program to a place where biomedical engineering pioneers are expanding the possibilities of human movement and ...

Lifeward Ltd. and MYOLYN, Inc. have announced the expansion of their exclusive contract to enhance patient access to the MyoCycle FES Cycling Therapy System for home use. This collaboration aims to ...

In a recent article published in Nature, researchers developed a groundbreaking wireless digital bridge that helped a chronic tetraplegia patient to walk naturally on complex terrains. More ...

Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) is a challenging condition characterised by the impaired mobility of both vocal folds, which can lead to significant airway compromise and voice dysfunction. A ...

A project at MIT has investigated whether optogenetics could be a better way to drive muscle contraction in clinical treatments than traditional electrical stimulation. Published in Science Robotics, ...

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 ...
