Aim: The purpose of the paper is to investigate autofluorescence characteristics of tissues (mainly the adipose tissue) and organs in various places of the exercising rats. Methods: The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique is used to research into autofluorescence characteristics of tissues and organs of various places of the exercising rats after one medium-intensity treadmill exercise up to...
Abstract-Exposure to the disuse environment affects a wide range of populations and severely debilitates musculoskeletal function. Non-invasive therapeutic treatments are essential to prevent bone loss and muscular atrophy. Electrically stimulated muscle contractions have been suggested as a treatment mechanism to prevent disuse induced bone loss and muscle atrophy. Understanding the treatment mechanism...
A case study investigating the impact of sensory electrical stimulation during perturbed stance in one chronic stroke patient is presented. A special apparatus called the BalanceTrainer was used. It allows the application of perturbations to neurologically impaired people during standing, while protecting the subject from falling. The subject underwent two different periods of perturbation training,...

Although electrical stimulation has proven to be capable of restoring neuronal function in the damaged or injured nervous system, there are several limitations to this technique. The availability of electrodes capable of selective fascicle recruitment and physiological fiber diameter recruitment (from small to large) is crucial for the development of successful prostheses. Nerve cuff electrodes have...
