Effects of chronic electrical stimulation on paralyzed expiratory muscles.
Following spinal cord injury, the expiratory muscles develop significant disuse atrophy characterized by reductions in their weight, fiber cross-sectional area, and force-generating capacity. We determined the extent to which these physiological alterations can be prevented with electrical stimulation. Because a critical function of the expiratory muscles is cough generation, an important goal ...
متن کاملAdaptive Closed-loop Control Strategy for Paralyzed Skeletal Muscles
Artificial control of paralyzed or paretic muscles became a challenging field and lately an important research topic, stimulated by the advances in technology. In this contribution, classical PI control is compared to the DIRAC (DIRect Adaptive Control) strategy. The DIRAC algorithm is both an auto-tuning and an adaptation method of the controller parameters. Since paralyzed or paretic muscles ...
متن کاملLinear artificial molecular muscles.
Two switchable, palindromically constituted bistable [3]rotaxanes have been designed and synthesized with a pair of mechanically mobile rings encircling a single dumbbell. These designs are reminiscent of a "molecular muscle" for the purposes of amplifying and harnessing molecular mechanical motions. The location of the two cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT(4+)) rings can be controlled to b...
متن کاملFuel-powered artificial muscles.
Artificial muscles and electric motors found in autonomous robots and prosthetic limbs are typically battery-powered, which severely restricts the duration of their performance and can necessitate long inactivity during battery recharge. To help solve these problems, we demonstrated two types of artificial muscles that convert the chemical energy of high-energy-density fuels to mechanical energ...
متن کاملPneumatic Artificial Muscles
This paper reports mechanical tasting and modeling results for the McKibben artificial muscle pneumatic actuator. This device, first developed in the 1950’s, contains an expanding tube surrounded by braided cords. We report static and dynamic length-tension testing results and derive a linearized model of these properties for three different models. The results are brieffy compared with human m...
