Finite element modelling of the femur bone of a subject suffering from motor neuron lesion subjected to electrical stimulation
Bone loss and a decrease in bone mineral density is frequently seen in patients with motor neuron lesion due to lack of mechanical stimulation. This causes weakening of the bones and a greater risk of fracture. By using functional electrical stimulation it is possible to activate muscles in the body...
