    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Neuroprosthetics
    • Biomedical Devices

    Background:

    • Reaching and grasping impairments significantly impact quality of life post-stroke or spinal cord injury.
    • Restoring motor function is crucial for patient well-being, with electrical stimulation showing potential but lacking widespread clinical adoption.
    • Existing solutions often lack personalization and adaptability for diverse user needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce HandNMES, an electrode array (EA) system for neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) designed for grasp training and assistance.
    • To develop a customizable and adaptable NMES device for hand motor function recovery.
    • To evaluate the stimulation performance and personalization capabilities of the HandNMES system.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed and developed the HandNMES, an electrode array (EA) system delivering NMES to extrinsic and intrinsic hand muscles.
    • Integrated six independent EAs with an external stimulator featuring demultiplexers for flexible electrode interfacing.
    • Enabled customization of garment fit, contact materials, and stimulation parameters (intensity, virtual electrode location/size).
    • Conducted extensive tests with nine healthy subjects to assess device performance and personalization.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated the efficacy of the HandNMES system in terms of stimulation performance.
    • Confirmed the personalization capabilities of the device, adapting to user-specific needs and anthropometrics.
    • Achieved encouraging results in preliminary tests with healthy subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • The HandNMES system shows significant potential as a tool for grasp training and assistance in individuals with motor impairments.
    • The device's adaptability and personalization features are key strengths for clinical application.
    • Further validation through upcoming pilot clinical trials is warranted to confirm efficacy in patient populations.
