Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a means of eliciting activation of the nervous
system in order to elicit either a therapeutic or functional effect. The results of research …

Closed-loop neuroprostheses show promise in restoring motion in individuals with
neurological conditions. However, conventional activation strategies based on functional …

Real-time registration of body segment angles is essential in artificial body position control.
A new method is presented for the real-time calculation of the lower extremity angles using …

To restore functional use of paralyzed muscles by automatically controlled stimulation, an
accurate quantitative model of the stimulated muscles is desirable. The most commonly …

This paper proposes a novel integrated approach for the identification and control of
Hammerstein systems to achieve desired heart rate profile tracking performance for an …

The feedback error learning (FEL) scheme was studied for a functional electrical stimulation
(FES) controller. This FEL controller was a hybrid regulator with a feedforward and a …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) applications in the lower extremity are common in
research laboratories, but clinical applications are minimal. This review summarizes current …

Two approaches are currently applied for motor rehabilitation of paralyzed humans:
functional electrical stimulation (FES) and mechanical bracing. Both assistive systems have …

An investigation of feedback control of coronal plane posture in paraplegic subjects who
stand using functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) is described. A feedback control …

The authors have studied muscle recruitment with Teflon-insulated, 24 mu m diameter, Pt-Ir
intrafascicular electrodes implanted in nerves innervating the gastrocnemius and soleus …
