体育锻炼可以产生显著的全身益处，包括降低心血管疾病的风险。对于脊髓损伤（SCI）患者，可以使用功能性电刺激（FES）激活非自愿收缩的肌肉，这是一种应用低能量电脉冲恢复运动功能的技术。在这篇文章中，我们分享我们的经验，在开发一个系统，赋予机动性和自主性（EMA）三轮车，使截瘫的人进行FES辅助自行车。同时介绍了技术开发和准备方案，沿着了我们团队参加2016年Cybathlon的相关信息。
Physical exercise may produce significant systemic benefits including reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. For individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), muscles that are not volitionally contracted can be activated using functional electrical stimulation (FES), a technology where lowenergy electric impulses are applied to restore motor function. In this article, we share our experience in developing a system, the Empowering Mobility and Autonomy (EMA) tricycle, to enable persons with paraplegia to perform FES-assisted cycling. Both technological development and preparation protocols are presented, along with information regarding our team's participation at Cybathlon 2016.
