We propose to develop SITS, a wearable trunk stabilization neuroprosthesis for use by people with mid-thoracic to low-cervical level spinal cord injury during lifting, pulling, reaching, and wheeling tasks. SITS will stimulate the extensor muscles of the lower back using surface electrodes to… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an electrical stimulation system with adaptive capabilities for exercise and rehabilitation. The target populations are individuals with: 1) complete spinal cord injury (Sd), 2) post-surgical knee… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an electrical stimulation system with adaptive capabilities for exercise and rehabilitation. The target populations are: 1) individuals with complete or incomplete SCI who are interested in improving their physical fitness through… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project proposes to develop a device that will improve the quality and availability of motor retraining for individuals with neuromotor disorders due to stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury. Biofeedback of postural control variables such as ground… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project proposes to develop an electrical stimulation augmented exercise device for individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). The device will provide a closed-chain, load bearing lower extremity exercise that has the potential to increase muscle… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Among the most significant goals of therapeutic exercise following stroke are maintaining strength and endurance of paretic muscles and aiding in restoration of functional use of the affected limbs. One relatively new and promising device that may address these… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recovery of quadriceps muscle force following post-surgical knee immobilization is a significant therapeutic aim which is associated with quality of gait and the ability to perform activities of daily living. Several st udies from various research groups have… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II SBIR project proposes to develop an electrical stimulation augmented exercise device for individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). The device will provide a closed-chain, load bearing lower extremity exercise that has the potential… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recovery of independent locomotion is among the most significant therapeutic aims following incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) and may lead to dramatic improvements in quality of life for the affected individual as we ll as dramatic cost savings to both the… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applications involving high numbers of stimulated muscles have been an area of growing interest in recent years. customKYnetics has been approached in recent months by research gro ups and stimulation application developers… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal will develop a FES-augmented recumbent stepper that elicits lower extremity involvement through electrical stimulation while upper extremity involvement is volitionally controlled by the client. Exercise f or people with spinal cord injury not only… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This FastTrack SBIR proposal aims to disseminate a Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) technology for stroke ambulation and neuromotor rehabilitation. The FastFES paradigm integrates two rehabilitation approaches,fast-paced treadmill walking and FES, in a… More
