Conclusion for Functional Electrical Stimulation in Lower Extremity
There is strong (Level 1a) evidence that FES and gait retraining results in improvements in hemiplegic
gait.
Functional Electrical Stimulation combined with gait training improves hemiplegic gait.

Conclusions Regarding the Efficacy of FES Therapy in Acute Stroke
There is strong (Level 1a) evidence that FES treatment improves upper extremity
function in acute stroke.
Among the studies evaluating ES in the acute stage of stroke, most assessed the same treatment
comparison, physical therapy plus FES (or sham FES) vs. physical therapy alone. The results most of
the studies indicated that FES was an associated with improvements in motor function, ADL and
dexterity.

Conclusions Regarding the Efficacy of FES Therapy in Chronic Stroke
There is strong (Level 1a) evidence that FES treatment improves upper extremity function in chronic
stroke.
There is moderate (Level 1b) evidence that EMG-triggered FES is not superior to cyclic FES.
Functional Electrical Stimulation therapy improves hemiparetic upper extremity function.

Description of the Upper Extremity FES System
1. Multipad electrodes in a streachable garment designed to stimulate all
the forearm muscles needed to produce a functional grasp
2. Inteligent stimulator communicates over bluetooth interface to the PC,
tablet or smartphone
3. Sensor glove enables automatic electrode calibration.
Main Features:
• Multi-field electrodes for higher selectivity and better functional
performance
• Easy donning/doffing
• 8 distinct functional activation primitives
• Automatic calibration algorithms (in development)

Focus of the research in the MAXSENS project is to
investigate advantages of time and space
distributed stimulation using array electrodes for
afferent stimulation.
MAXSENS stimulation device should provide the
user proprioceptive and sensory feedback from the
artificial hand through electrotactile stimulation.
Aim is to define intuitive feedback mapping
through stimuli localization and parameters of
electrical stimulation.

Success Rate: discrimination of
dynamic afferent stimulation patterns
Maxsens
This demonstrates that the amputees were able to consistently discriminate a set of presented dynamic patterns after
very short training despite the diversity of the individual characteristics, such as, amputation level, type of trauma,
surgical procedure, time elapsed after the procedure, overall physical and psychological condition of the subject, and
even the location of the electrotactile feedback
The average SR was very high for 6 amputees and 10 able-bodied subjects when discriminating the dynamic
stimulation patterns. Able-bodied subjects were able to perceive and identify stimulation patterns with an average
SR of 99 3%. The average SR for amputees was 86 10%.

Summary: Preliminary
clinical results
Maxsens
• MaxSens working principle has been tested in 15 upper limb
amputees
• Amputees were able to
recognize 8 prosthesis states
with more than 90% accuracy
• It required only 20
minutes of training
