Feedback control of unsupported standing in paraplegia. Part I: optimal control approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This is the first of a pair of papers which describe an investigation into the feasibility of providing artificial balance to paraplegics using electrical stimulation of the paralyzed muscles. By bracing the body above the shanks, only stimulation of the

Brain-Computer Interface Controlled Robotic Gait Orthosis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
Reliance on wheelchairs after spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to many medical co-morbidities. Treatment of these conditions contributes to the majority of SCI health care costs. Restoring able-body-like ambulation after SCI may reduce the incidence of these conditions, and increase independence and quality of life. However, no biomedical solution exists

Differences and Commonalities of Electrical Stimulation Paradigms After Central Paralysis and Amputation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Invasive and non‐invasive functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a well‐established method to partially restore function after paralysis and deliver sensory feedback after amputation. This work summarizes the current state‐of‐the‐art of FES for restoring function, supporting rehabilitation therapy, and assistive devices.

Operation of a Brain-Computer Interface Walking Simulator by Users with Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) can leave the affected individuals unable to ambulate. Since there are no restorative treatments for SCI, novel approaches such as brain-controlled prostheses have been sought. Our recent studies show that a brain-computer interface (BCI) can be used to control ambulation within a virtual reality environment (VRE ...
