Identification of ankle plantar-flexors dynamics in response to electrical stimulation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Modeling the muscle response to functional electrical stimulation (FES) is an essential step in the design of closed-loop controlled neuroprostheses. This study was aimed at identifying the dynamic response of ankle plantar-flexors to FES during quiet standing. Thirteen healthy subjects stood in a standing frame that locked the knee and hip joints. The ankle plantar-flexors were stimulated bilaterally through surface electrodes and the generated ankle torque was measured. The pulse amplitude was sinusoidally modulated at five different frequencies. The pulse amplitude and the measured ankle torque fitted by a sine function were considered as input and output, respectively. First-order and critically-damped second-order linear models were fitted to the experimental data. Both models fitted similarly well to the experimental data. The coefficient of variation of the time constant among subjects was smaller in the case of the second-order model compared to the first-order model (18.1%vs. 79.9%, p<0.001). We concluded that the critically-damped second-order model more consistently described the relationship between isometric ankle torque and surface FES pulse amplitude, which was applied to the ankle plantar-flexors during quiet standing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
