HunFess

During the last years, our team worked on developing stimulation patterns and training protocols for FES cycling training of paraplegics. Our Pilot, Csaba Szamosi was involved in optimizing the developed protocols. Our team uses the Berkelbike Pro tricycle, and members of several institutions participate in the development of the stimulation patterns and training protocols. These institutions are the Pazmany Peter Catholic University, the Wigner Research Centre for Physics, the University of Pecs and the National Institute for Medical Rehabilitation in Hungary. The team members have various educational and professional backgrounds, such as Human Kinesiology, Physical Therapy, Info-Bionic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Biology. The Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics of the Pazmany Peter Catholic University prepares for Cybathlon Competion in other disciplines, that are BCI and Vision, as well. For the FES biking race, the HunFess team combines technical sciences, computational sciences, natural sciences and medical sciences in partnership with the above-mentioned institutions, and we aim to foster FES-based rehabilitation of spinal cord injured people.
