Abstract

A novel neuromechanical model for investigating patient-specific lower limb movement dynamics after spinal cord injury (SCI) is presented. The model is designed in joint space and takes into account muscle neuromechanics. Application of the model is demonstrated in the application of a balancing task.

This work was funded in part by the EU-FP7 grants PEOPLE-ITN-317488-CONTEST, ICT-601003 BALANCE, ICT-611626 SYMBITRON, H20202 ICT-644727 COGIMON.
