    Does Anode Position and Electrode Impedance Affect Muscle Selectivity in Upper Limb sFES?

    Muscle selectivity during sFES in upper limb is an issue because of the presence of the “overflow” phenomenon. Surface electrodes array can augment muscle selectivity by generating an irregular electric field ...
