摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physiologic aspects and clinical application of functional electrical stimulation (FES) in rehabilitation. FES may be defined as currents to neural tissue for restoring a degree control over abnormal or absent body functions. Electricity has been applied either experimentally clinically many purposes: (1) improve hearing sight, (2) prevent bladder bowel incontinence, (3) evacuation, (4) regulate heart rhythm, (5) reduce spasticity, (6) allow ventilator-free breathing, (7) correct scoliosis, (8) usefully move paralyzed limbs. The one specific form that is usually referred by scientists neuromuscular (FNS). FNS restricts system purpose controlling skeletal muscle contractions. It successfully different forms paralytic conditions caused upper motor neuron lesions, example, stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy. its after spinal cord injury.
