A Hybrid FNS Generator for Human Trunk Posture Control with Incomplete Knowledge of Neuromusculoskeletal Dynamics

The trunk movements of an individual paralyzed by spinal cord injury (SCI) can be restored by Functional Neuromuscular Stimulation (FNS), a technique that applies low-level current to motor nerves to activate the muscles generating torques, and thus, produce trunk motions. FNS can be modulated to co…
