Optimisation of a Hybrid Electric Motor–FES Trike for Outdoor Exercise After Stroke - 2026_IDR_DEIB_80
Within the Active3 project, the research group developed a recumbent three-wheeled trike integrating an electric motor and a multichannel Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) system.This research appointment aims to optimize the system to enable its safe and effective outdoor use by individuals with post-stroke impairments.Specifically, the following activities are planned:1) waterproofing and reinforcing the trike for outdoor use;2) modifying the steering system to make it usable by individuals with hemiparesis, including one-handed steering and braking controls;3) adapting the control system for outdoor use, including uphill and downhill riding, uneven terrain, and longer distances, while maximizing users’ voluntary contribution during pedalling.
