A muscle-driven approach to restore stepping with an exoskeleton for individuals with paraplegia

Abstract Background Functional neuromuscular stimulation, lower limb orthosis, powered lower limb exoskeleton, and hybrid neuroprosthesis (HNP) technologies can restore stepping in individuals with paraplegia due to spinal cord injury (SCI). However, a self-contained muscle-driven controllable exosk...
