|October 1, 1984
Abstract:
A method of applying a momentary mechanical stimulus to a human leg at any selected time during treadmill locomotion is described. The stimulus is produced by the breaking of a loop of fine copper wire by means of a motor and clutch device. An electrical signal at the time of stimulus is provided and the apparatus has no detrimental effect on normal walking.
