Restoration of Gait Using a New Hybrid-fes Orthosis (primewalk) in a Complete Paraplegic Patient

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the restoration of FES gait using a new medially linked knee ankle foot orthosis (Primewalk) in a paraplegic patient. The walking speeds, the step cadence and the step length at the Primewalk/FES gait were measured and compared with those at the Walkabout/FES gait. All parameters were significantly greater at the Primewalk/FES gait (p < 0.05). The slidi...

Percutaneous Intramuscular FES Systems for Standing and Ambulation in Paraplegia

Average 29 1y1m 3y7m 25 Abstract-Clinical application of FES using percutaneous intramuscular electrodes in paraplegia was described. Maximum duration of continuous standing was 150 minutes and maximum distance of continuous walking was 300m with hybrid FES. Only one electrode broke (0.6%). There were 5.6% of movement of electrodes and 5.6% of superficial infections. However, the ultrafine intr...

The Effect of Spatial and Temporal Parameters on the Energy Expenditure of Orthotic Gait of Paraplegic

Objectives: Although for those spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with paralysis of the legs but not at arms, the primary means of mobility post injury is the manual wheelchair, there are many physiological and psychological advantages to standing and walking, such as improvement in respiratory function, lower limb weight bearing and preventing osteoporosis, pressure sores prevention etc. High m...

Rehabilitation System for Paraplegic Patients Using Mind- Machine Interface; a Conceptual Framework

Mind-Machine Interface (MMI) is a newly surfaced term in the field of control engineering and rehabilitation systems. This technique, coupled with the existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems, can be very beneficial for effective rehabilitation of disabled patients. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the development of MMI based FES systems for therapeutic aid and fu...
