La stimulation électrique est une technique efficace pour moduler et évoquer des réponses motrices. Elle inclut notamment la stimulation électrique fonctionnelle [...], la stimulation électrique épidurale [...], la stimulation cérébrale profonde [...], et l'ICMS [microstimulation intracorticale]. Ces technologies de neurostimulation ont mené au développement de neuroprothèses motrices qui visent principalement à soutenir les fonctions motrices par la stimulation électrique des muscles, des nerfs périphériques, de la moelle épinière ou du cerveau après un accident vasculaire cérébral ou une LME [lésion de la moelle épinière]. 1, record 2, French, - neuroproth%C3%A8se%20motrice

La stimulation électrique fonctionnelle (SEF) est une méthode permettant de restaurer en grande partie l'activité motrice des membres paralysés. Le principe est d'appliquer des séquences de stimulations aux muscles appropriés, via des électrodes placées en surface du muscle ou appliquées directement sur les nerfs moteurs, afin de réaliser le mouvement souhaité. 3, record 3, French, - stimulation%20%C3%A9lectrique%20fonctionnelle

Hybrid exoskeletons... are exoskeletons which use an electrically controlled actuator(e. g., electric motor, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc.) in combination with FES [functional electrical stimulation] to provide active assistance/resistance to the user. A hybrid exoskeleton can potentially result in a device which is overall lighter(and thus more portable) than a non-hybrid exoskeleton and which can produce greater forces and more precise control than FES on its own. 4, record 4, English, - hybrid%20exoskeleton
