The effect of timing electrical stimulation to robotic-assisted stepping on neuromuscular activity and associated kinematics. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(6):875–92. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.06.0111 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.06.0111JSP Aim – Determine how timing neuromuscular functional electrical stimulation (FES) to limb movements during stepping might alter neuromuscular control differently than patterned stimulation alone. Relevance – FES has been used to strengthen muscles weakened by neurological damage and artificially replace muscle activation missing because of spinal cord injury (SCI).

Tested treadmill stepping ability and compared hind- limb movement and TA electromyography (EMG) activity after 4 wk.
