FES in Europe and beyond: Current Translational Research

Abstract: Capacity of adult neural and muscle tissues to respond to external Electrical Stimulation (ES) is the biological basis for the development and implementation of mobility impairment physiotherapy protocols and of related assistive technologies, e.g, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). All body tissues, however, respond to electrical stimulation and, indeed, the most successful application of FES is electrical stimulation of the heart to revert or limit effects of arrhythmias (Pace-makers and Defibrillators… Show more

“…Cooperation with other teams present at the first Cybathlon FES Cycling competition and beyond will provide further hints and tips. 9-18 Our next step will be defining what are the thresholds levels of effort that are sufficiently high to provide structural and functional body adaptations to improve performance, while avoiding harmful overtraining.…”

“… 8 , 9 FES technology significantly advanced thus far in the development of rehabilitation technologies and improving our understanding of the muscle-nerve relationship. 10 However, applications of implementing FES devices into individual rehabilitation therapies for these patients still has some limitations. 11 FES technologies have major applications in various therapies, including drop foot stimulation, 12 gait training combined with FES, 13 and even upper-limb or lower-limb rehabilitation.…”

“…The results from the worldwide research activities constitute a body of significant and important data, but this clinical interest is not supported by in-depth comprehension to how integrate the new knowledge about fasciae with the classical biomechanical model based on muscles, tendons and bones. Thus, the aim of the "2019 Ejtm Special on Muscle Fascia", Carla Stecco 17 Answers to these questions will add to the many tools of mobility and pain rehabilitation strategies, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] contributing to clinician's understanding of the…”
