A surface electrode array-based system for functional electrical stimulation (2008)
Thesis
Sha, N. A surface electrode array-based system for functional electrical stimulation. (Thesis). University of Salford

The goal of this thesis is to develop an electrode array-based functional electrical stimulation (FES) system for foot drop correction. The thesis reports a series of studies on the design and development of an electrode array, describes how these re...

Investigating effects of mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on user performance (2008)
Journal Article
Major, M., Twiste, M., Kenney, L., & Howard, D. (2008). Investigating effects of mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on user performance. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(S1), 416-416. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0021-9290%2808%2970415-9

As the design of trans-tibial prostheses has continued to advance, this has led to a wide range of alternative commercially available modular components, which when assembled comprise the trans-tibial prosthesis.

The effect of the impedance of a thin hydrogel electrode on sensation during functional electrical stimulation (2008)
Journal Article
Sha, N., Kenney, L., Heller, B., Barker, A., Howard, D., & Wang, W. (2008). The effect of the impedance of a thin hydrogel electrode on sensation during functional electrical stimulation. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2007.07.012

Surface functional electrical stimulation results in stimulation of cutaneous receptors and discomfort. The degree of non-uniformity of current distribution in the cutaneous layers in the vicinity of the electrode may influence the sensation experien...

Rapid prototyping for functional electrical stimulation control (2008)
Journal Article
Tresadern, P., Thies, S., Kenney, L., Howard, D., & Goulermas, J. (2008). Rapid prototyping for functional electrical stimulation control. IEEE Pervasive Computing, 7(2), 62-69. https://doi.org/10.1109/MPRV.2008.35

Electrical muscle stimulators can help restore limb function following a neurological injury. However, complex neuromuscular stimulators need a straightforward software interface to simplify hardware programming and make patient care more efficient....

A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin (2008)
Journal Article
Sha, N., Kenney, L., Heller, B., Barker, A., Howard, D., & Moatamedi, M. (2008). A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin. Artificial Organs, 32(8), 639-643. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1525-1594.2008.00615.x

Discomfort experienced during surface functional electrical stimulation (FES) is thought to be partly a result of localised high current density in the skin underneath the stimulating electrode. This paper describes a finite element (FE) model to pre... Read More about A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin.
