Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Restoring bipedal locomotion after spinal cord injury (SCI) or stroke is challenging due to impaired neural control.
  • Electrical stimulation offers a potential method for activating paralyzed muscles to assist with walking.
  • Developing effective control strategies requires understanding optimal muscle activation patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To simulate bipedal locomotion for individuals with SCI or stroke using personalized body models and electrical stimulation.
  • To determine optimal muscle activation timing and patterns for gait restoration.
  • To inform the synthesis of rule-based controllers for assistive walking devices.

Main Methods:

  • A discrete mathematical model and dynamic programming were employed for optimal control simulation.

  • User-specific body parameters (lengths, masses, joint properties) individualized the simulation model.
  • A cost function minimized tracking errors and muscle activation levels.

    • Main Results:

    • The simulation generated plausible muscle activation patterns for walking in individuals with SCI or stroke.
    • It provided specific timing for muscle onset/offset and activation levels relative to gait events.
    • Successful simulation indicated the feasibility of achieving desired trajectories within imposed limitations.

    Conclusions:

    • The simulation successfully identified muscle activation strategies for assisted walking in SCI and stroke.
    • The generated muscle activation data is crucial for developing advanced, rule-based gait controllers.
    • This approach aids in creating more effective neuroprosthetic devices for mobility restoration.
