「Analysis of paraplegic gait with Hybrid FES-Using thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis」

ASIA-PACIFIC FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION SOCIETY

In the hybrid FES system, we used a thoraco-lumbo-sacral hip orthosis that restricted the hip joint movements in the abduction-adduction and rotational directions but allowed it in the flexion-extension direction As a result; it was found that the gait with hybrid FES improved walking speed and especially lengthened step length.
