In this regard, the use of functional electrical stimulation (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FES<\/jats:styled-content>) has been proposed for reducing tremor amplitude by stimulating muscles in antiphase with respect to the trembling motion. Although some studies have reported success in terms of tremor attenuation, drawbacks still exist that prevent the method from being used in real\u2010life applications. In this article, we explore an alternative approach: a strategy based on the hypothesis that <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FES<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010induced constant muscle contraction may provide functional benefit for tremor patients. To evaluate the proposed strategy, experiments were conducted in which stimulation was intermittently turned on and off while the subjects performed a static motor task. The results of the proposed experimental protocol indicate that tremor attenuation using this strategy is feasible, as consistent tremor attenuation levels were obtained in eight out of 10 <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ET<\/jats:styled-content> patients. Nonetheless, tremor reduction was not instantaneous for all successful trials, indicating that prior training with <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FES<\/jats:styled-content> may improve the overall response. Furthermore, although simpler assistive devices may potentially be designed based on this technique, some experimental difficulties still exist, which suggests that further studies are necessary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/aor.12261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,18]],"date-time":"2014-02-18T04:16:59Z","timestamp":1392697019000},"page":"984-991","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["On the Use of Fixed\u2010Intensity Functional Electrical Stimulation for Attenuating Essential Tremor"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Ant\u00f4nio Padilha Lanari","family":"B\u00f3","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM)  Montpellier"},{"name":"Neuromedics  Vallauris"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Azevedo\u2010Coste","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM)  Montpellier"},{"name":"French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA)  Sophia Antipolis France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Geny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Montpellier"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Poignet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM)  Montpellier"},{"name":"Centre Mutualiste Neurologique Propara  Montpellier"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Fattal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Montpellier 2"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/b14115"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-031-01627-1","volume-title":"Tremor: From Pathogenesis to Treatment","author":"Grimaldi G","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TBME.2009.2023979"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TNSRE.2007.903917"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4471-0433-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/MCS.2007.914689"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TNSRE.2010.2091283"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02368521"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11517-011-0803-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.conengprac.2010.08.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4612-2104-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/IROS.2009.5354397"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ROBOT.2010.5509560"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1743-0003-10-36"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1594.2005.29075.x"}],"container-title":["Artificial Organs"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Faor.12261","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/aor.12261","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,23]],"date-time":"2023-09-23T12:19:42Z","timestamp":1695471582000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/aor.12261"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,17]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/aor.12261"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/aor.12261","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0160-564X","1525-1594"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0160-564X","type":"print"},{"value":"1525-1594","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,17]]}}}
