Coordinating Upper and Lower Body During FES‐Assisted Transfers in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury in Order to Reduce Arm Support

The goal of this study is to minimize arm forces applied during sit‐to‐stand (STS) transfers in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) by using functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to lower limbs muscles.
