Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in damage to neural circuitry connecting the brain to the periphery. Consequently, sensory and motor function is lost, to varying degree, depending on the site and severity of the lesion. More than half of spinal cord injur ...
EPFL2022Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders
Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...
EPFL2021Personalizable computational models of electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore function after neurological disorders
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and spinal circuits below the lesion, leading to a plethora of neurological impairments, including the loss of motor function. At present, the only medical practices to enhance recovery ...
EPFL2021Combining Reflexes and External Sensory Information in a Neuromusculoskeletal Model to Control a Quadruped Robot
Auke Ijspeert, Azhar Aulia Saputra
This article examines the importance of integrating locomotion and cognitive information for achieving dynamic locomotion from a viewpoint combining biology and ecological psychology. We present a mammalian neuromusculoskeletal model from external sensory ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2021Refinements of hybrid neurophysical volume conductor models and application to study epidural electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord
After spinal cord injury (SCI), the communication between the brain and spinal neural circuits below the lesion is disrupted, leading to paralysis. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbosacral spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion an ...
EPFL2020Central and peripheral mechanisms: a multimodal approach to understanding and restoring human motor control
All human actions involve motor control. Even the simplest movement requires the coordinated recruitment of many muscles, orchestrated by neuronal circuits in the brain and the spinal cord. As a consequence, lesions affecting the central nervous system, su ...
EPFL2020The role of sensorimotor afferent feedback in mediating functional recovery after spinal cord injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to permanent deficits in sensory and motor function due to the physical disruption of descending and ascending pathways. As a consequence, spinal circuits below the level of lesion remain in an intact, but inactive state. A n ...
EPFL2019Non-invasive, Brain-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation for Locomotion Rehabilitation in Individuals with Paraplegia
Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Miguel Nicolelis
Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs the flow of sensory and motor signals between the brain and the areas of the body located below the lesion level. Here, we describe a neurorehabilitation setup combining several approaches that were shown to have a positive ...
2019Spatiotemporal stimulation strategies in neuroprostheses to improve locomotion after spinal cord injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts communication within central nervous system and lead to range of neurological disorders including paralysis. Current rehabilitation strategies to restore locomotion are poorly effective in people with severe SCI. Epidural ...
EPFL2019Axon regeneration and circuit reorganization after complete spinal cord injury
First human trials involving neuroprosthetic rehabilitation demonstrated recently that significant
functional benefits can be achieved with lumbosacral neuromodulation and reorganized
spared projections. However, complete spinal cord injuries (SCI) wholly ...
