Trunk Stability and Seated Reaching After Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract

The overall goal of this expansion project is to leverage the achievements made with prior SCIRP support to transfer our trunk control and transfer systems to the Network Neuroprosthesis (NNP) platform, verify the control systems in a series of laboratory experiments, and prepare the trunk control package for future clinical dissemination and commercialization. Specific aims: (1) Estimate global orientation metrics for trunk and pelvis pose by fusing signals from a variety of implanted IMU sensors of the NNP and assess their suitability as feedback signals for controlling seated posture; (2) Implement advanced feedback control systems that assure robust seated stability, balance, and reach, and facilitate efficient wheelchair propulsion, transfers and other activities of daily living in NNP recipients.
