State-of-the-art equipment for functional electrical stimulation and functional monitoring of denervated muscles – technical developments of the EU-project RISE

摘要

Non-invasive functional activation of denervated muscles and assessment of muscle function require novel stimulation and measurement techniques. Stimulation equipment must be safe enough for home-based training though the applied electrical parameters raise critical safety issues. Assessment of biomechanical and electrophysiological parameters is provided by oscillation tonometry, twitch and m-wave measurements.
