Abstract		Paraplegic patient's standing-up by the help of electrical stimulation of knee extensors, ankle plantar flexors and hip extensors was analyzed. Two spinal cord injuried (SCI) subjects performed raising from sitting to standing position with surface electrical stimulation of different combinations of muscle groups. The body movement and external forces acting on the body were measured. Joint torques were calculated from the measured data. No major improvement in raising supported by multichannel stimulation compared to the use of stimulation of only knee extensors was found.
