Ergometers are safe devices for patients and elderly individuals, as the exercise intensity can be controlled. Moreover, ergometer exercises, which remove the load from body weight on the leg joint, would better reflect training conditions in locations where the force of gravity is lower than that on Earth, such as the International Space Station or on the surface of Mars. The purpose of this study...
In recent years, the number of individuals with disabled motor functions has increased. However, restoring motor functions is possible by providing electrical stimulation to the peripheral nerves. Flexible operation methods are desirable for .people with central nerve disorders as they can be used in daily life despite limited residual motor functions. Various examples using electromyogram (EMG),...
We examined the stability of the ankle joint moment (AM) and M-wave amplitude evoked by electrical stimulation of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle. The use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) is associated with some problems, including the fact that the muscle activity evoked by electrical stimulation decreases with muscle fatigue. Also, when electrical stimulation is delivered via surface...
The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of a walking assist system using electrical stimulation. Thirty-two elderly people (18 men and 14 women) having no medical problems and five healthy young men participated in the study. The electrical stimulation was carried out in two cases: 1) hybrid training (HYBT) for the elderly subjects, 2) assisted walking aimed at eventual application...
