I am trying to understand the concept of FES. Since I'm not an expert in rehab research, is there any good link or maybe good review paper that I can read that clarifies the research direction of this FES? For those who are experts, is there any issue or gap that can be filled if I'm interested in getting involved in this area of research? Thanks.
You can gather useful information in the international FES society website (http://www.ifess.org). There's an education section that might prove useful for those not familiar with FES concepts. And there's also an open access repository of the IFESS conference proceedings.
A very useful reference is:
Plonsey R. and Barr R.C. Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach. Second Edition. New York, NY: Kluwer Academic - Plenum Publishers, 2000. Chapter 12 - Functional Electrical Stimulation, pp. 345-383.
Many areas of research are working on deep brain stimulation. Several pathologies have been targeted for this procedure, including Parkinson's, obsessive compulsive disorders, pain, among others. In recent years begun to be studied to treat obesity by DBS. Attached some articles that can guide you.
I think that you should learn the basics of the application of current to tissues such as muscle and nerve. It is important that FES be safe. Concepts such as charge balance and fatigue properties are important. Publications by Dr. Milos Popovic in Toronto are helpful to learn about this topic

Hi Muhammad,
There are numerous gaps to be filled in FES technology. Few of which are identification of efficient modification stimulation parameters to check the issue of rapid muscle fatigue. This can be achieved through feedback controllers. Issue relating t
Hello. I'm working at the moment with FES devices, and I think a such good reference is Dejan B. Popovic's paper 'Advances in functional electrical stimulation (FES)', which you can download at next website:
