Abstract
A control strategy has been developed to decrease the activation of the quadriceps muscles during FES-induced standing. This strategy uses a finite-state control scheme to discriminate between knee-lock and knee-unlock situations. Knee angle and knee angle velocity are used as input. The strategy has been tested in an experimental setup using transcutaneous stimulation
