Abstrakt | Improved hand control module providing voluntary control over functional electrical stimulation (FES) restored walking pattern was developed. Specially designed twostep pushbuttons enable division of stride time into three distinct phases: midstance, push-off, and swing phase. During the midstance phase, electncal stimulation is delivered to both knee extensors. The push-off phase is enabled by stimulating the ankle plantar flexors of the trailing leg. The swing phase of walking is realized by provohing the flexion reflex in the swinging lower extremity. The dynamics of FES assisted stance phase was assessed by ultrasound motion monitoring system and two force plates. The measurements were performed in paraplegic person with complete T-7,8 thoracic lesion and tetraplegic subject with mcomplete C-6,7 cervical spinal cord lesion. | |
