Tremor Suppression Using Electromyography and Surface Sensory Electrical Stimulation
Functional electrical stimulation has been tested previously for the suppression of pathological tremor. Typically, the tremor is detected using motion sensors, and the stimulation is delivered supra motor thr...

Does Anode Position and Electrode Impedance Affect Muscle Selectivity in Upper Limb sFES?
Muscle selectivity during sFES in upper limb is an issue because of the presence of the “overflow” phenomenon. Surface electrodes array can augment muscle selectivity by generating an irregular electric field ...

Open AccessA neuroprosthesis for tremor management through the control of muscle co-contraction
Pathological tremor is the most prevalent movement disorder. Current treatments do not attain a significant tremor reduction in a large proportion of patients, which makes tremor a major cause of loss of quali...

Detection of Common Synaptic Inputs Shared by Populations of Motor Neurons Innervating Different Muscles: Methodology and Considerations for Neuroprosthetic Treatment of Tremor
A large proportion of tremor patients do not benefit from any treatment. This is partly motivated by the fact that current therapies may not be sufficiently specific because the pathophysiology of each type of...

Open AccessAdvances in selective activation of muscles for non-invasive motor neuroprostheses
Non-invasive neuroprosthetic (NP) technologies for movement compensation and rehabilitation remain with challenges for their clinical application. Two of those major challenges are selective activation of musc...

Open AccessA robot-based gait training therapy for pediatric population with cerebral palsy: goal setting, proposal and preliminary clinical implementation
The use of robotic trainers has increased with the aim of improving gait function in patients with limitations. Nevertheless, there is an absence of studies that deeply describe detailed guidelines of how to c...

Open AccessEvaluation of biomechanical gait parameters of patients with Cerebral Palsy at three different levels of gait assistance using the CPWalker
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of permanent serious physical disability in childhood. Although many platforms have been developed, so far there are still not precise guidelines for the rehabilita...

Feature Consistency Criterion for Motor Imagery-Based Neuromodulation
Motor imagery (MI) has been increasingly studied for neurorehabilitation purposes. However, issues such as large intra- and inter-subject variability still limit its practical, and more clinical, applications....

Open AccessA unilateral robotic knee exoskeleton to assess the role of natural gait assistance in hemiparetic patients
Hemiparetic gait is characterized by strong asymmetries that can severely affect the quality of life of stroke survivors. This type of asymmetry is due to motor deficits in the paretic leg and the resulting co...

Open AccessPerspectives on ankle-foot technology for improving gait performance of children with Cerebral Palsy in daily-life: requirements, needs and wishes
Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are extensively used as a primary management method to assist ambulation of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). However, there are certain barriers that hinder their prescription as w...
