title: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) to the biceps brachii for controlling forearm supination in the paralyzed upper extremity.
abstract: Control of forearm supination using the functional electrical stimulation (FES) to the biceps brachii was studied in a C4 quadriplegic patient. As a result of FES to the biceps brachii, and the other elbow flexors and extensors, supination was induced in maintenance of the elbow in the maximum flexion and extension, respectively. Although a range of the movements was still small and limited, these findings indicated a possibility of FES to the biceps brachii for controlling supination in paralyzed upper extremities.
