Bioness Medical, Inc. ("Bioness", or the "Company"), a global leader in functional electrical stimulation (FES) and advanced rehabilitation technologies, today announced the acquisition of the PoNS® ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is emerging as a transformative modality in muscle rehabilitation. By delivering controlled electrical impulses to targeted muscles, FES induces contractions ...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology is a new type of treatment, which is through the simulation of the nerve on the muscle issued by the electrical signals for rehabilitation training.

In past research, Calvert and others in the field have been able to restore control over muscle movement for these patients ...

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering, often leaving individuals with severe mobility impairments. While rehabilitation robotics—devices that guide movement during therapy—have improved training for ...

Adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to physiotherapy in hospitalized patients with severe heart failure (HF) — including recent heart transplant recipients and those with implanted ...

In the last few decades, individuals with mobility issues have seen a flurry of advancements in neuroprosthetic devices, artificial systems that seek to replace a particular sensation or lost ability.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

Bottom line: This study found that, in rats, acute nerve injuries that may recover can be distinguished from those that are unlikely to recover based on the response to intraoperative electrical nerve ...
