Preface

Electrical Nerve Stimulation Theory Experiments and Applications pdf for free: Functional electrical stimulation is the most important application in the field of clinical treatment with currents or magnetism. This technique generates artificially neural activity in order to overcome lost functions of paralyzed, incontinent, or sensory handicapped patients. Electricity and magnetism is also used in other cases, e.g., to stimulate bone growth or wound healing. In contrast to these applications, the basic mechanism of the artificial excitation of the nerve and the muscle fibers has become known in the last few years.

Although many textbooks are concerned with the natural excitation process, information on the influence of an applied electric or magnetic field is lacking. This book Electrical Nerve Stimulation Theory Experiments and Applications, written for students and biomedical engineers, should close this gap and, furthermore, it should stimulate the desire to design new instrumentation using optimal strategies.
