 | Electrical stimulation for swallowing disorders caused by stroke. |
| Electrical stimulation of wrist extensors in poststroke hemiplegia. |
| ES was administered with a modified hand-held battery-powered electrical stimulator connected to a pair of electrodes positioned on the neck. |
| Functional Electrical Stimulation (3904 words) |
| Functional restoration, also known as functional electrical stimulation (FES) or function neuromuscular stimulation (FNS), involves the user wearing a device, called a neuroprosthesis, to achieve a particular function. |
| A pair of small electrodes may be placed near the nerve (bipolar stimulation) or a large reference (indifferent) electrode may be placed at a distance from the nerve with a smaller, closer active electrode (monopolar stimulation). |
| Current, rather than voltage, controlled stimulators are used as impedance may increase as a surface electrode becomes detached or an implanted electrode is surrounded by a sheath of fibrous tissue. |
