Abstract: A device for functional electrical stimulation (FES), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and/or in receiving electromyography (EMG) signals includes a sleeve and electrodes. The sleeve is sized and shaped to be worn on a human arm, and comprises a stretchable fabric The electrodes are secured with the sleeve and positioned to contact skin of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm. An electronic circuit is configured to operate the electrodes. The electronic circuit includes relays connecting the electrodes with a stimulator for performing FES or NMES, and EMG readout circuitry connecting the electrodes with an EMG amplifier. The relays are closed during FES or NMES to connect the stimulator with the electrodes. The relays are open during EMG readout to isolate the stimulator from the EMG amplifier.

Abstract: A device for functional electrical stimulation (FES), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and/or in receiving electromyography (EMG) signals includes a sleeve and electrodes. The sleeve is sized and shaped to be worn on a human arm, and comprises a stretchable fabric The sleeve has a distal end disposed on or adjacent a wrist of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm and a proximal end opposite from the distal end. The electrodes are secured with the sleeve and positioned to contact skin of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm. The sleeve may include an inner sleeve contact with the skin and an outer sleeve disposed over the inner sleeve. The inner sleeve has openings in which the electrodes are disposed.
