Abstract

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) holds the premises to artificially control the musculoskeletal system aiming to improve quality of life in e.g. multiple sclerosis patients, or to provide targeted rehabilitation in e.g. stroke patients. Besides some neuromuscular stimulators which are widely used within FES clinics (e.g. Odstock Drop Foot Stimulator to correct foot drop in poststroke rehabilitation), some other FES-based control strategies e.g. to restore gait in paraplegia, are still under intensive research. The proposed chapter will shortly review the FES-based applications in neurorehabilitation and then will focus on current research that aims to artificially control the human body muscles by means of FES in order to, e.g. restore gait in paraplegia, improve neurorehabilitation in stroke patients, as well as the new trends to combine FES with hand and arm orthoses and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI).
