Year: 2014
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a medical condition that occurs as a result of trauma, sickness or brain injury and as a result the connection between the brain and some part of the body is lost.This will result in tremendous changes in the daily life of the individual affected.Secondary complications arising from SCI are of very importance as well since some of them if left unattended, will result in life treating conditions.Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is one of the methods developed by researchers in order to get paralysed limbs functional with the help of electrical stimulation once again but the issue of muscle fatigue is limiting the efficiency of this method.In this thesis the primary and secondary matters arising from SCI are discussed and a CAD-based VN4D humanoid model integrated with Matlab/ Simulink, for use as a platform for analysis, design and evaluation of the developed strategies and approaches in this research is developed.Muscle models using different Last but not the least: To my family To my beautiful fiancé Narges: Thanks for pushing me when I was tired and was giving up.Thanks for putting smile on my face constantly during the last few month which have been rough on me.To my sister Fereshteh: Thanks for never judging me and being there for me all the way.Thanks for supporting me mentally when I needed some one to talk to
