(A) The IVES+ system (OG Wellness Technologies Co., Ltd.) that is currently used in Fujita Health University Nanakuri Memorial Hospital. (B) EMG-triggered and EMG-modulated modes can be used for this device. In the former mode, NMES is applied with a constant current intensity for a fixed time when an EMG that exceeds a predefined threshold is detected. In the latter mode, the intensity of the stimulation current is proportional to the amplitude of EMG.

Abbreviations: IVES, integrated volitional control electrical stimulator; EMG, electromyogram; NMES, neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
