Abstract :
A single-degree of freedom joint-space muscle model describes joint properties for use in the design of controllers for functional electrical stimulation (FES)-aided gait. The joint is modeled as an ideal pin connecting rigid links. Torque generators at the joint describe the dynamic properties of the passive tissue and electrically stimulated muscle. The model is experimentally parameterized for customization to individuals
