Introduction: Of those people who survive a stroke, only between 40 and 70% regain upper limb dexterity. A number of reviews have suggested that functional electrical stimulation (FES) may have a beneficial effect on upper limb motor recovery. In lig...

Prediction of setup times for an advanced upper limb functional electrical stimulation system (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, C., Kenney, L., Howard, D., Waring, K., Sun, M., Luckie, H., …Cotterill, S. (2018). Prediction of setup times for an advanced upper limb functional electrical stimulation system. Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering, 5, https://doi.org/10.1177/2055668318802561

Introduction Rehabilitation devices take time to don, and longer or unpredictable setup time impacts on usage. This paper reports on the development of a model to predict setup time for upper limb functional electrical stimulation. Methods...

FES-UPP : a flexible functional electrical stimulation system to support upper limb functional activity practice (2018)
Journal Article
Sun, M., Smith, C., Howard, D., Kenney, L., Luckie, H., Waring, K., …Finn, S. (2018). FES-UPP : a flexible functional electrical stimulation system to support upper limb functional activity practice. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 12(449), https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2018.00449

There is good evidence supporting highly intensive, repetitive, activity-focused, voluntary-initiated practice as a key to driving recovery of upper limb function following stroke. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) offers a potential mechanism...

A novel method of using accelerometry for upper limb FES control (2016)
Journal Article
Sun, M., Kenney, L., Smith, C., Waring, K., Luckie, H., Liu, A., & Howard, D. (2016). A novel method of using accelerometry for upper limb FES control. Medical Engineering and Physics, 38(11), 1244-1250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2016.06.005

This paper reports on a novel approach to using a 3-axis accelerometer to capture body segment angle for upper limb functional electrical stimulation (FES) control. The approach calculates the angle between the accelerome... Read More about A novel method of using accelerometry for upper limb FES control.
