Energy-Efficient FES Cycling with Quadriceps Stimulation
This paper discusses the use of energy storage device to assist FES-cycling for paraplegics and at the same time to eliminate the dead points of the pedal cycle. Implementation of an energy storage device has many desirable influences on FES-cycling. In this study, simple elastic cables are used as energy storage device. Elastic cables can store elastic potential energy due to either compressio...
متن کاملCharacterization of major muscles in cycling FES
The functional activation, through electrical stimulation, of the lower limb consisting of several deficient muscles requires well-patterned and coordinated activation of these muscles. This study presents a method for characterizing the parameters of the major muscle groups controlling the ankle and knee joints in cycling motion, the latter having particular significance in the rehabilitation ...
متن کاملWorkrate and Cadence Control for Exercise Testing in FES Cycling
Lower-limb FES cycling for paraplegic and tetraplegic subjects has been previously described, with systems for both stationary ergometry and for mobile outdoor cycling being available. The potential therapeutic and medical benefits of FES cycling exercise have recently been surveyed [1]. A key finding is that regular FES cycling exercise leads to improved cardiopulmonary fitness, with a corresp...
متن کاملAdaptive Neuro-Sliding Mode Control of FES-Cycling
To evaluate the physiological effects of FES-cycling, it is crucial that both cadence cycling and workrate are well controlled. However, the major impediment to the development of satisfactory control systems for FES has been the highly non-linear and time-varying properties of electrically stimulated muscle which make control very difficult to achieve and limit the utility of open-loop FES con...
متن کاملAn automatic identification procedure to promote the use of FES-cycling training for hemiparetic patients.
Cycling induced by Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) training currently requires a manual setting of different parameters, which is a time-consuming and scarcely repeatable procedure. We proposed an automatic procedure for setting session-specific parameters optimized for hemiparetic patients. This procedure consisted of the identification of the stimulation strategy as the angular ranges...
