A muscle-driven approach to restore stepping with an exoskeleton for individuals with paraplegia by Sarah R. Chang, Mark J. Nandor, Lu Li, Rudi Kobetic, Kevin M. Foglyano, John R. Schnellenberger, Musa L. Audu, Gilles Pinault, Roger D. Quinn, Ronald J. Triolo

“…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 exoskeleton approach based on an implanted neural stimulator to restore walking has not been previously demonstrated, which could potentially result in system use outside the laboratory and viable for long term use or clinical testing. …”
