提出了一种通过电刺激治疗截瘫步态的新系统。该系统将瘫痪股四头肌的电刺激与髋膝矫形器结合在一起。该矫形器采用弹簧加载，包含气动组件，可存储股四头肌刺激引起的膝关节伸展能量并将其传输到驱动髋部运动的气动执行器。以这种方式，可以使用单通道的表面刺激来实现任意定时的循环髋部和膝部运动。之前的工作开发了能量存储系统的动态模型和台式原型。仿真和设计原型的最终目标是开发完整步态系统的可穿戴版本。
A new system for paraplegic gait by electrical stimulation is presented. The system combines electrical stimulation of the paralyzed quadriceps muscle with a hip-knee orthosis. The orthosis is spring-loaded and contains pneumatic components that store and transfer the energy from knee extension caused by quadriceps stimulation to a pneumatic actuator that drives hip motion. In this manner, cyclic hip and knee motion with arbitrary timing can be achieved using a single channel of surface stimulation. Previous work developed a dynamic model and bench top prototype of the energy storing system. Simulation and design prototypes are presented with the eventual goal of developing a wearable version of the complete gait system.
