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 ...

A novel therapy has been devised for survivors of stroke with hand weakness to help improve hand function through the use of a glove that delivers electrical stimulation. Hand functionality was ...

Contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation is linked to reduced poststroke arm impairment vs neuromuscular electrical stimulation, a new trial shows.

Hand choice is an unconscious decision frequently made in daily life, whether it's reaching for an object such as a cup or performing any other task. This decision is influenced by target-related ...

Research participant Heather Rendulic prepares to grasp and move a can of tomato soup at Rehab Neural Engineering Labs at the University of Pittsburgh. (Tim Betler/UPMC and University of Pittsburgh ...

Hand choice, an unconscious decision, is influenced by target-related information, but if these are non-informative, the choice will be approximately 50-50. In this equilibrium situation, non-target ...

Adding transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) after stroke offered no additional benefit in improving upper extremity function, new research ...

The results of an innovative study suggest electrical stimulation of the spinal cord could eventually help some of the many people disabled by strokes. Heather Rendulic had a stroke at age 23, ...

All participants undergo a baseline assessment on day 1; in the EES+PT group, an epidural electrode is implanted on day 2, stimulation programs are initiated on postoperative day 1 and iteratively ...
