AB  - Two significant challenges facing functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling are the low power output and early onset of muscle fatigue, mainly due to the non-physiological and superficial recruitment of motor units and weakness of the antagonistic muscles. Thus optimization of the cycling biomechanical properties and stimulation pattern to achieve maximum output power with minimum applied electrical stimulus is of great importance. To find the optimal seating position and stimulation pattern, the previous works either ignored the muscle's force-velocity and force-length properties or employed complicated muscle models which was a massive barrier to clinical experiments. In this work, an easy-to-use and precise muscle model in conjunction with Jacobian-based torque transfer functions were adopted to determine the optimal seating position, trunk angle, crank arm length, and stimulation intervals. Furthermore, the impact of muscle force-velocity factor in finding the optimal seating position and stimulation intervals was investigated. The simulation models showed the trivial effect of the force-velocity factor on the resulting optimal seating position of six healthy simulated subjects. This method can enhance the FES-cycling performance and shorten the time-consuming process of muscle model identification for optimization purposes. © 2022 IEEE.

AB  - Cycling assisted by functional electrical stimulation (FES cycling) has many positive effects on the overall health in persons with paralyzed legs due to the injury of the central nervous system (i.e., increases bulk of stimulated muscles, preserved range of movements in the joints, preserved cross-section geometry of long bones that are axially loaded, reduced body fat content, preserved functioning of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, reduced frequency of urinary infections, reduced spasticity in stimulated muscles). If the FES cycling exercise starts shortly after the central nervous system lesion, then the muscles will not be atrophied. The FES needs to provide sufficient muscle power to turn the pedals of the bicycle. If the pedals don’t rotate, then the exercise would be discouraging for the patient and many among them would give up on this type of training. The FES assistance must provide strong enough stimulation that is tolerable by the user, and the correct timing of stimulation bursts to push and pull when needed. If the stimulation power is not sufficient, then the external power coming from the motor built into the exercise bike is required. The temporal pattern (on-off) need to match the pushing and pulling on the pedals at the appropriate positions to generate the driving momentum; hence, it is linked to the angle of the pedals (from 0° to 360°). The optimal setup of the temporal pattern benefits from the assessment of the interface force between the pedal and the foot. The driving torques will be optimal if the interface force is perpendicular to the lever.
We are developing a protocol for designing the optimal stimulation-motor assistance profile for the cycling based on the measurements of the interface forces. The setup uses the optimization criterion that maximizes the effect based on the asynchronous activation of synergistic muscles. The protocol is being developed for the therapy performed with Omego bike (Tyromotion GmbH, Graz, Austria) and Motimove FES stimulator (3F-Fit Fabricando Faber Ltd, Belgrade, Serbia). The same principle used for the setup can be used for closed-loop control to correct the original non-optimal temporal pattern.

AB  - Functional electrical stimulation assisted rowing (FES-rowing) can be used as a rehabilitation procedure and recreational activity for persons with lower-limbs paralysis1. In FES-rowing typically quadriceps and hamstring muscles are stimulated, which improves the status of the cardiovascular system and increases muscle mass2,3; thereby, the risk from secondary complications associated with the sedentary lifestyle imposed on those who are unable to ambulate is reduced. The aims of the present study were (i) to assess the effectiveness of FES-rowing in young healthy subjects as compared with rowing alone; (ii) to evaluate the feasibility of rowing combined with the coordinated stimulation of 3 muscle groups (quadriceps, hamstrings and triceps
surae).

AB  - Increased muscle tone and exaggerated tendon reflexes characterize most of the individuals after a spinal cord injury (SCI). We estimated seven parameters from the pendulum test and used them to compare with the Ashworth modified scale of spasticity grades in three populations (retrospective study) to assess their spasticity. Three ASIA B SCI patients who exercised on a stationary FES bicycle formed group F, six ASIA B SCI patients who received only conventional therapy were in the group C, and six healthy individuals constituted the group H. The parameters from the pendulum test were used to form a single measure, termed the PT score, for each subject. The pendulum test parameters show differences between the F and C groups, but not between the F and H groups, however, statistical significance was limited due to the small study size. Results show a small deviation from the mean for all parameters in the F group and substantial deviations from the mean for the parameters in the C group. PT scores show significant differences between the F and C groups and the C and H groups and no differences between the F and C groups. The correlation between the PT score and Ashworth score was 0.88. © 2017 IEEE.

AB  - Whether it is from the patient’s or the physical therapist’s point of view, FES cycling can be considered either as a recreational activity, or an engaging rehabilitation tool. In both cases, it keeps patients with lower-limb paralysis motivated to sustain a regular physical activity. Thus, it is not surprising that it was selected as one of the six disciplines of the first Cybathlon competition held on October 8, 2016. However, many unresolved issues prevent FES cycling from being an activity practiced outdoors on a daily basis; such as, low power production, rapid muscle fatigue, precise electrode positioning, lack of systematic procedures to determine stimulation patterns, and the difficulty of transferring disabled riders from their wheelchair to the tricycle. This article documents the challenges we faced during preparation for the Cybathlon 2016 FES cycling race, and provides results obtained during different phases of the process. A particular specificity of our team was that, unlike most other teams where pilots were mainly paraplegic, both the primary and backup pilots for team ENS de Lyon are C6/C7 tetraplegics, with neither voluntary control of their abdominal muscles nor hand grip, and only partial use of their arms.
