Electromechanical delay during functional electrical stimulation induced cycling is a function of lower limb position.

CONCLUSIONS: Since the crank angle has a significant effect on both the CD and RD, the angle has a significant effect on the EMD. Therefore, future efforts should consider the importance of the crank angle when modelling or estimating the EMD to improve control designs and ultimately improve rehabilitative treatments. Implications for rehabilitation New model predicts the delayed response of muscle torque production to electrical stimulation as a function of limb position during FES cycling. The model can inform closed-loop electrical stimulation induced rehabilitative cycling. PMID: 33529543 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
