Replication Data for: "Development and Validation of a Kinematic Hindlimb Cycling Model for Rats"

To gain accelerated understanding of FES-cycling in humans, we performed a kinematic analysis of the rat hindlimb with a fixed hip location and variable foot location as the pedal of the bicycle rotated about the crank. Based on this analysis, an FES pattern was developed for the femoral and sciatic nerves to produce forward (clockwise) or reverse (counterclockwise) motion of the crank. These modeled FES patterns were validated in nine experiments that used 743 unique stimulation trials conducted in anesthetized male and female rodents.
