This study presents a novel electrical knee lock system for paraplegic patients, restoring standing and walking functions. The hybrid system uses functional electrical stimulation, minimizing muscle fatigue for improved mobility.

Area of Science:

Rehabilitation Engineering
Biomedical Engineering
Neuroprosthetics

Background:

Paraplegic patients often face mobility challenges due to impaired lower limb function.
Existing assistive technologies may have limitations in restoring natural gait and functional movements.
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) offers potential for restoring muscle function but requires careful integration with mechanical systems.
