A device for functional electrical stimulation (FES), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and/or electromyography (EMG) readout includes a sleeve sized and shaped to be worn on a human arm and comprising an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has openings formed therein, and has an exposed side positioned to contact skin and an opposite backside facing the outer sleeve. Electrode strips each comprise a linear circuit board on which a row of electrodes is mounted. The electrode strips are detachably and selectively mountable to the inner sleeve in a plurality of different orientations. The electrode strips are mountable on the inner sleeve with the linear circuit boards disposed on the backside of the inner sleeve between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve and the electrodes passing through the openings of the inner sleeve so as to be positioned to contact skin.
A device for use in performing functional electrical stimulation (FES), in performing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), in providing somatostimulation, and/or in receiving electromyography (EMG) signals, the device comprising:
A method of assembling a device comprising a sleeve having an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve wherein the inner sleeve has an exposed side positioned to contact skin of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm and an opposite backside facing the outer sleeve, the device being for use in performing functional electrical stimulation (FES), in performing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), in applying somatostimulation, and/or in receiving electromyography (EMG) signals, the method comprising:
