Recumbent cycling exercise achieved by functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the paralyzed leg muscles is effective for cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal conditioning after spinal cord injury, but its full potential has not yet been realized. Mechanical power output and efficiency is very low and endurance is limited due to early onset of muscle fatigue. The aim of this work was to ...... hiện toàn bộ
Participation to the first Cybathlon: an overview of the FREEWHEELS team FES-cycling solutionEuropean Journal of Translational Myology - Tập 27 Số 4
Benoît Sijobert, Charles Fattal, Anne Daubigney, Christine Coste
This article is a contribution to a special issue aiming at collecting data and documenting the different specificities of the teams which participated into Cybathlon 2016 FES-bike discipline. Our team prepared one paraplegic pilot over one year and developed a FES-cycling device based on existing commercial products. Our pilot (47 y.o, spinal cord lesion T3 AIS A since year 1995) was qual...... hiện toàn bộ
The road to Cybathlon 2016 - Functional electrical stimulation cycling Team IRPT/SPZEuropean Journal of Translational Myology - Tập 27 Số 4

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) provides a good possibility to activate paralysed muscles and it has been shown to elicit substantial physiological and health benefits. For successful application of FES, a perfect symbiosis of the bike and the pilot has to be achieved. The road to the Cybathlon 2016 describes the different pieces needed for FES cycling in spinal cord injury. The sy...... hiện toàn bộ
Cycle Training Using Implanted Neural Prostheses: Team ClevelandEuropean Journal of Translational Myology - Tập 27 Số 4

Recently our laboratory team focused on training five individuals with complete spinal cord injuries for an overground FES bike race in the 2016 Cybathlon held in Zurich Switzerland. A unique advantage team Cleveland had over other teams was the use of implanted pulse generators that provide more selective activation of muscles compared to standard surface stimulation. The advancements in ...... hiện toàn bộ
Development of practical functional electrical stimulation cycling systems based on an electromyography study of the Cybathlon 2016European Journal of Translational Myology - Tập 27 Số 4
Jetsada Arnin, Traisak Yamsa-ard, Preechapawan Triponyuwasin, Yodchanan Wongsawat
The purpose of this study was to develop a functional electrical stimulation (FES) system based on the motor driving concept for use by spinal cord injury patients participating in the FES Cycling competition at the Cybathlon 2016. The proposed FES system consists of a low-power control system, a precise processor unit, and a 4-channel stimulation unit. Self-adhesive carbon conductive elec...... hiện toàn bộ
A Design Method for FES Bone Health Therapy in SCIEuropean Journal of Translational Myology - Tập 26 Số 4

FES assisted activities such as standing, walking, cycling and rowing induce forces within the leg bones and have been proposed to reduce osteoporosis in spinal cord injury (SCI). However, details of the applied mechanical stimulus for osteogenesis is often not reported. Typically, comparisons of bone density results are made after costly and time consuming clinical trials. These studies h...... hiện toàn bộ
