| Abstract: | Background Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been used to improve function in individuals with hemiparesis following stroke.
An ideal functional electrical stimulation (FES) system needs an accurate mathematical model capable of designing subject
and task-specific stimulation patterns. Such a model was previously developed in our laboratory and shown to predict the isometric
forces produced by the quadriceps femoris muscles of able-bodied individuals and individuals with spinal cord injury in response
to a wide range of clinically relevant stimulation frequencies and patterns. The aim of this study was to test our isometric
muscle force model on the quadriceps femoris, ankle dorsiflexor, and ankle plantar-flexor muscles of individuals with post-stroke
hemiparesis. |
