Capacity of adult neural and muscle tissues to respond to external Electrical Stimulation (ES) is the biological basis for the development and implementation of mobility impairment physiotherapy protocols and of related assistive technologies, e.g, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). All body tissues, however, respond to electrical stimulation and, indeed, the most successful application of FES is electrical stimulation of the heart to revert or limit effects of arrhythmias (Pace-makers and Defibrillators). Here, we list and discuss results of FES current research activities, in particular those presented at 2016 Meetings: the PaduaMuscleDays, the Italian Institute of Myology Meeting, the 20 International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS) conference held in Montpellier and the Vienna Workshop on FES. Several papers were recently e-published in the European Journal of Translational Myology as reports of meeting presentations. All the events and publications clearly show that FES research in Europe and beyond is alive and promisses translation of results into clinical management of a very large population of persons with deficiencies.
成体神经和肌肉组织对外部电刺激(ES)作出反应的能力,是制定和实施行动障碍物理治疗方案以及相关辅助技术(如功能性电刺激(FES))的生物学基础。然而,所有身体组织都会对电刺激产生反应,事实上,FES最成功的应用是对心脏进行电刺激,以恢复或限制心律失常的影响(起搏器和除颤器)。在此,我们列出并讨论FES当前研究活动的结果,特别是在2016年会议上展示的结果:帕多瓦肌肉日会议、意大利肌病学会会议、在蒙彼利埃举行的第20届国际功能性电刺激协会(IFESS)会议以及FES维也纳研讨会。最近有几篇论文作为会议报告在《欧洲转化肌病学杂志》上以电子方式发表。所有这些活动和出版物都清楚地表明,欧洲及其他地区的FES研究依然活跃,并有望将研究成果转化为针对大量有功能缺陷人群的临床管理方法。
