Toolkit/functional electrical stimulation
functional electrical stimulation
Also known as: FES
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
The three considered modalities were force-controlling (orthoses and functional electrical stimulation)...

Ranked Claims
Central neuromodulation produced moderate effects for pathological tremor suppression.
Force-controlling strategies showed promising acute effects but their clinical translation remains limited by poor wearability and muscle fatigue.
Peripheral neuromodulation has gained clinical traction and several devices are now commercially available.
