We have partnered with Capital do Remo in order to develop our novel modality of FES-aided physical exercise for athletes with paraplegia: rowing! The video below illustrates the first demonstration, in which lower limb muscle contraction in controlled using a customized controller attached to the handle.
A further study including automatic triggering based on body movement has been presented later, whose details are found in the corresponding paper1.
