Journal ArticleDOI
Neuromechanical Principles Underlying Movement Modularity and Their Implications for Rehabilitation
Lena H. Ting,Lena H. Ting,Hillel J. Chiel,Randy D. Trumbower,Randy D. Trumbower,Jessica L. Allen,J. Lucas McKay,Madeleine E. Hackney,Trisha M. Kesar,Trisha M. Kesar +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that motor module organization is disrupted and may be improved by therapy in spinal cord injury, stroke, and Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Electrical Stimulation of Ankle Plantarflexor and Dorsiflexor Muscles: Effects on Poststroke Gait
Trisha M. Kesar,Ramu Perumal,Darcy S. Reisman,Angela Jancosko,Katherine S. Rudolph,Jill S. Higginson,Stuart A. Binder-Macleod +6 more
TL;DR: Delivering FES to both the plantarflexor and dorsiflexor muscles can help to correct poststroke gait deficits at multiple joints (ankle and knee) during both the swing and stance phases of gait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Patterns of Functional Electrical Stimulation Have an Immediate Effect on Dorsiflexor Muscle Function During Gait for People Poststroke
Trisha M. Kesar,Ramu Perumal,Angela Jancosko,Darcy S. Reisman,Katherine S. Rudolph,Jill S. Higginson,Stuart A. Binder-Macleod +6 more
TL;DR: Comparing knee and ankle kinematics during the swing phase of gait when FES was delivered to the ankle dorsiflexor muscles using VFTs versus CFTs suggests that novel FES systems capable of delivering variable-frequency trains during gait can produce enhanced correction of foot drop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of stimulation frequency versus pulse duration modulation on muscle fatigue
TL;DR: Comparing muscle performance and fatigue produced during repetitive electrical stimulation using three different strategies showed that frequency-modulation showed better performance for both peak forces and force-time integrals in response to the fatiguing trains than pulse-duration- modulation, while producing similar levels of muscle fatigue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimal detectable change for gait variables collected during treadmill walking in individuals post-stroke
TL;DR: The results showed that test-retest reliability was excellent for all gait variables tested and MDCs for post-stroke gait kinematics, GRF indices, temporal, and spatial measures during treadmill walking provide a useful reference to help interpret the magnitudes of changes in post- Stroke Gait variables.
