Development of network-based multichannel neuromuscular electrical stimulation system for stroke rehabilitation
Hongen Qu, MS, et al.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is
a promising assistive technology for rehabilitation
that may benefit a large population of patients poststroke,
including Veterans. Here, we have designed
and tested a prototype of a multimuscle NMES system
as an emerging therapy for people with paretic
stroke. Results showed that synergistic stimulation
of multiple muscles in people with stroke improved
performance of multijoint movements with more
natural velocity profiles at the elbow and shoulder
and reduced acromion excursion due to compensatory
trunk rotation. The network-based NMES system
may provide an innovative solution that allows
more physiological activation of multiple muscles in
multijoint task training.
