N2 - The central nervous system controls all movements and muscle actions in our bodies through electrical signals. Electrical Stimulation is a recognized non-invasive modality of emulating these signals by sending electrical signals through electrodes placed on the skin. In this paper, we propose an easy-to-implement configurable multimodal ES system. The control of timing and intensity parameters allows therapists to configure stimuli characteristics through an intuitive communication interface. In our tests, we verified that the proposed device is more effective when compared to commercially available electrostimulators while still being safe for both patients and therapists.
