DOI: 10.1109/jbhi.2020.3041669
Abstract: Objective: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a common technique to elicit muscle contraction and help improve muscle strength. Traditional FES over the muscle belly typically only activates superficial muscle regions. In the case of hand… read more here.
