Energy cost of paraplegic locomotion using the ParaWalker―electrical stimulation hybrid orthosis

In an adult paraplegic walking with the ParaWalker, electrical stimulation of the stance-side gluteal muscles (gluteus maximus and medius) reduces the force applied through the crutches during the gait cycle. In this study, five posttrauma, fully rehabilitated, complete paraplegic adult men walked u...
