Are
electrocutaneous system, which is electrotactile
and
FES Functional Electrical Stimulation, which moves your muscle
and
TENS Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
same?
Is correct that they are all stimulated from electrical waves?
So if I build a function generator, can I stimulate human nerves?
Thank you.
I guess that would be considered as FES?
What I am confused about is that since electrocutaneous, FES, and TENS are based on the same mechanism that is stimulated by electric pulse,
then why different sensations occur?
Accupuncture stimulous uses this all the time.
Chiropractors and physiotherapists only use silver particle patches for poor resolution. TCM uses sterile needles for precision accuracy.
Beware of galvanic e skin response in mV and electrode oxidation which causes rise in ESR thus use current mode with voltage limiting.
they twist needles to lower ESR and create galvo-stimulous.
You can contract muscles with pulse or burst of pulses with average current and rep rate affecting the response.
We used this for One muscle, controlling another. Or even galvanic skin response on temples to create a ramp voltage on lateral eye scan to generate pulses to move prosthetic device. Circa 1974, Biometrics EE
