  • Title: Ambulation after incomplete spinal cord injury with EMG-triggered functional electrical stimulation.
    Author: Dutta A, Kobetic R, Triolo RJ.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 2008 Feb; 55(2 Pt 1):791-4. PubMed ID: 18270018.
    Abstract:
    Individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) retain some control of the partially paralyzed muscles, necessitating careful integration of functional electrical stimulation (FES) with intact motor function. In this communication, the volitional surface electromyogram (sEMG) from partially paralyzed muscle was used to detect the intent to step in an iSCI volunteer. The classifier was able to trigger the FES-assisted swing phase with a false positive rate less than 1% and true positive rate of 82% for left foot-off (FO) and 83% for right FO over 110 steps taken during three testing sessions spread over a week.
