The modulatory effect of electrical stimulation on the excitability of the corticospinal tract varies according to the type of muscle contraction being performed

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Afferent input caused by electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve increases corticospinal excitability during voluntary contractions, indicating that proprioceptive sensory input arriving at the cortex plays a fundamental role in modulating ...

Cycle-to-cycle control of swing phase of paraplegic gait induced by surface electrical stimulation [PDF]

, 1995
Parameterised swing phase of gait in paraplegics was obtained using surface electrical stimulation of the hip flexors, hamstrings and quadriceps; the hip flexors were stimulated to obtain a desired hip angle range, the hamstrings to provide foot ...

Identification of electrically stimulated muscle after stroke [PDF]

2009 European Control Conference (ECC), 2009
The design of controllers to enable the application of Functional Electrical Stimulation as part of a rehabilitation programme for stroke patients requires an accurate model of electrically stimulated muscle. In this paper, nonlinear dynamics of the electrically stimulated muscle under isometric conditions is investigated, leading to the requirement to
