TL;DR: This is the first report of a combined implanted FES+iBCI neuroprosthesis for restoring both reaching and grasping movements to people with chronic tetraplegia due to spinal cord injury, and represents a major advance, with a clear translational path, for clinically viable Neuroprostheses for restoration of reaches and grasping after paralysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
EMG-based prediction of shoulder and elbow kinematics in able-bodied and spinal cord injured individuals
A.T.C. Au,Robert F. Kirsch +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the EMG signals from shoulder and elbow muscles contain a significant amount of information about arm moVement kinematics that could be exploited to develop advanced control systems for augmenting or restoring shoulder and elbows movements to individuals with tetraplegia using functional neuromuscular stimulation of paralyzed muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Head Orientation and Neck Muscle EMG Signals as Command Inputs to a Human–Computer Interface for Individuals With High Tetraplegia
TL;DR: Overall, head orientation commanded motion resembled mouse commanded cursor motion (smooth, accurate movements to all targets), although with somewhat lower performance, and EMG commanded movements exhibited a higher average speed, but other performance measures were lower, particularly for diagonal targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of voluntary force generation on the elastic components of endpoint stiffness
TL;DR: Endpoint stiffness was estimated during the application of planar, stochastic displacement perturbations to the human arm to result in a nearly posture-independent regulation of joint torque-stiffness relationships, suggesting a simplified strategy that is used to regulate arm mechanics during these tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multijoint dynamics and postural stability of the human arm
TL;DR: This work examined whether the dynamic stability of the limb remained nearly invariant across a range of voluntarily generated endpoint forces and limb postures and found that in the tasks studied, there was a differential modulation of endpoint elasticity and endpoint viscosity.
