A Model for the Design of Fes Standing-up Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a physiologically based model that describes major properties of muscles and segmental dynamics during FES assisted standing-up. It accounts for relevant time-dependent and nonlinear properties (temporal and spatial summation, muscle fatigue, force-length and force-velocity relations, viscoelastic effects, nonlinear moment arms, choice of muscles stimulated, seat and upperbody interaction, etc.). The model can be implemented in model-based controllers or be used for the design of armsupported FES standing up movements.

Patient-driven control of FES-supported standing up: a simulation study.
To control movements aided by functional electrical stimulation (FES) in paraplegic patients, stimulation of the paralyzed lower limbs might be adjusted in response to voluntary upper body effort. Recently, Donaldson and Yu proposed a theoretical approach, called "control by handle reactions of leg muscle stimulation" (CHRELMS), in which stimulation of the lower limbs depends on upper body effo...
متن کاملInverted Pendulum Standing Apparatus for Investigating Closed-Loop Control of Ankle Joint Muscle Contractions during Functional Electrical Stimulation
The restoration of arm-free standing in individuals with paraplegia can be facilitated via functional electrical stimulation (FES). In developing adequate control strategies for FES systems, it remains challenging to test the performance of a particular control scheme on human subjects. In this study, we propose a testing platform for developing effective control strategies for a closed-loop FE...
متن کاملSwitching curve controller for FES-assisted standing up and sitting down.
A low-level, closed-loop controller for FES-assisted standing up and sitting down is described. If, for able-bodied individuals, when standing up and sitting down, the knee angular velocity is plotted against knee angle, consistent phase-plane trajectories are produced. The bang-bang controller uses a model of this trajectory as a switching curve. The design rationale for the controller was the...
متن کاملNonlinear modelling of FES-supported standing up in paraplegia for selection of feedback sensors
This paper presents analysis of the standing–up manoeuvre in paraplegia considering the body supportive forces as a potential feedback source in FES-assisted standing–up. The analysis investigates the significance of particular feedback signals to the human body centreof-mass (COM) trajectory reconstruction. Two nonlinear empirical modeling methods are implemented (Gaussian process priors (GP) ...
متن کاملPID Controller Design for FES Applied to Ankle Muscles in Neuroprosthesis for Standing Balance
Closed-loop controlled functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to the lower limb muscles can be used as a neuroprosthesis for standing balance in neurologically impaired individuals. The objective of this study was to propose a methodology for designing a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for FES applied to the ankle muscles toward maintaining standing balance for severa...
