EAW enhancement EMG figure.
SCES, EAW
Example electromyograms of one participant (0773) during exoskeleton-assisted walking (EAW) without or with spinal cord epidural stimulation (SCES). Left leg muscles are shown in black, right leg muscles are shown in gray. Without SCES, very little muscle activity occurs through the gait cycle, mainly in the right hamstring and medial gastrocnemius muscles, which occurred during the swing phase of the left leg. With SCES on, using the same configuration that resulted in rhythmic bursting in supine as seen in Fig.
