Lecture

Electrical Stimulation for Actuation

Description

This lecture explores techniques to restore motor functions in patients after traumatic events like spinal cord injury, focusing on electrical stimulation of muscles, nerves, and the spinal cord. It covers functional electrical stimulation, different types of electrodes, and examples of applications. The instructor demonstrates the use of electrical stimulation for muscle contraction and discusses the challenges of muscle fatigue and non-linear responses. The lecture also delves into the use of epidural spinal cord stimulation to restore intentional movement, including the implantation process and the potential for partial neurological recovery.
