Anatomical Registration of Implanted Sensors Improves Accuracy of Trunk Tilt Estimates with a Networked Neuroprosthesis

open access: yesSensors
For individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) above the midthoracic level, a common complication is the partial or complete loss of trunk stability in the seated position. Functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) can restore seated posture and other
