  • Title: Sensory supported FES control in gait training of incomplete spinal cord injury persons.
    Author: Cikajlo I, Matjacić Z, Bajd T, Futami R.
    Journal: Artif Organs; 2005 Jun; 29(6):459-61. PubMed ID: 15926982.
    Abstract:
    Sensory supported electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve during treadmill walking is proposed as a gait-training modality in incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. A multisensor device provides information on the tilt of the shank during gait. The information provided significantly improves the triggering instant of the electrical stimulation. Simultaneously, swing-phase estimation serves as a reference to determine the required motor augmentation support. Both approaches, as well as triggering using intensity control of the functional electrical stimulation were applied on a healthy person and on an incomplete C4-5 SCI patient.
