Neuromuscular electrical stimulation finds application in several fields, from basic neurophysiology, to motor rehabilitation and cardiovascular conditioning. Despite the progressively increasing interest in this technique, its State-of-the-Art technology is mainly based on monolithic, mostly wired devices, leading to two main issues. First, these devices are often bulky, limiting their usability in applied contexts. Second, the possibility of interfacing these stimulation devices with external systems for the acquisition of electrophysiological and biomechanical variables to control the stimulation output is often limited. The aim of this work is to describe the design and development of an innovative electrical stimulator, specifically developed to contend with these issues. The developed device is composed of wireless modules that can be programmed and easily interfaced with third-party instrumentation. Moreover, benefiting from the system modular architecture, stimulation may be delivered concurrently to different sites while greatly reducing cable encumbrance. The main design choices and experimental tests are documented, evidencing the practical potential of the device in use-case scenarios.

Design and Validation of a Wireless Body Sensor Network for Integrated EEG and HD-sEMG Acquisitions
Cerone, G. L.; Giangrande, A.; Ghislieri, M.; Gazzoni, M.; Piitulainen, H.; Botter, A. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)Sensorimotor integration is the process through which the human brain plans the motor program execution according to external sources. Within this context, corticomuscular and corticokinematic coherence analyses are common ... -
Quantification of cortical proprioceptive processing through a wireless and miniaturized EEG amplifier
Giangrande, A.; Cerone, G. L.; Gazzoni, M.; Botter, A.; Piitulainen, H. (IEEE, 2022)Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) is computed between limb kinematics and cortical activity (e.g. MEG, EEG), and it can be used to detect, quantify and localize the cortical processing of proprioceptive afference arising ... -
Effects of caffeine on neuromuscular function in a non‐fatigued state and during fatiguing exercise
Mesquita, Ricardo N. O.; Cronin, Neil J.; Kyröläinen, Heikki; Hintikka, Jukka; Avela, Janna (Cambridge University Press, 2020)Purpose Caffeine enhances exercise performance but its mechanisms of action remain unclear. This study investigated its effects on neuromuscular function in a non‐fatigued state and during fatiguing exercise. Methods Eighteen ... -
Acute neuromuscular and hormonal responses to 20 versus 40% velocity loss in males and females before and after 8 weeks of velocity-loss resistance training
Walker, Simon; Häkkinen, Keijo; Virtanen, Roosa; Mane, Shashank; Bachero‐Mena, Beatriz; Pareja‐Blanco, Fernando (Wiley, 2022)Scientific examination of velocity-based resistance training (VBRT) has increased recently, but how males and females respond to different VBRT protocols or how these acute responses are modified after a period of training ... -
Perimenopausal women show modulation of excitatory and inhibitory neuromuscular mechanisms
