Background:

  • Functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) can cause overflow to non-target tissues.
  • Controlling current density distribution under surface electrodes is key to reducing this overflow.
  • Optimizing FNS parameters is crucial for effective muscle activation and patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a method for acquiring 3-D current density distributions under complex FNS electrode geometries.
  • To develop a system simulating excitable tissue response to external stimulation.
  • To enable characterization of stimulation parameters for targeted muscle activation with minimal overflow.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a phantom model with a skin impedance layer simulating FNS parameters.
