Augmenting rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord neuromodulation: A proof of concept

Auke Ijspeert, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Miroslav Caban, Nicolas Hankov, Henri Charles Alexandre Lorach, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Salif Axel Komi

Rehabilitation robotics aims to promote activity-dependent reorganization of the nervous system. However, people with paralysis cannot generate sufficient activity during robot-assisted rehabilitation and, consequently, do not benefit from these therapies. ...

Activity-dependent spinal cord neuromodulation rapidly restores trunk and leg motor functions after complete paralysis

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Quentin Barraud, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Nawal Noëlle Kinany, Miroslav Caban, Sergio Daniel Hernandez

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) targeting the dorsal roots of lumbosacral segments restores walking in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, EES is delivered with multielectrode paddle leads that were originally designed to target the dorsal ...

Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury

Miroslav Caban

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 ...
