title = "On the Use of Electrical Stimulation to Prevent the Loss of Muscle Strength during the Treatment of Fractures by Immobilization Splints",
abstract = "This paper explores the feasibility of using controlled electro stimulation in order to avoid muscular atrophy in an immobile limb during the treatment of a fractured or dislocated bone. The electro controlled stimulation is based on the use of electrodes within the splint which emit two waves that collide between them producing a stimulation to the muscle while the limb is totally immobilized by the use of a splint printed in 3D. As a result of the electro stimulation during the use of the splint, the loss of muscle mass in the limb is avoided.",
