Article in Journal of computational and nonlinear dynamics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04453943 (Modeling, Optimization, and Control Methods for a Personalized Hybrid Walking Exoskeleton), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is prescribed as a treatment to restore motor function in individuals with neurological impairments. However, the rapid onset of FES-induced muscle fatigue significantly limits its duration of use and limb movement quality. In this paper, an electric motor-assist is proposed to alleviate the fatigue effects by sharing work load with FES. A model predictive control (MPC) method is used to allocate control inputs to FES and the electric motor. To reduce the computational load, the dynamics is feedback linearized so that the nominal model inside the MPC method becomes linear. The state variables: the angular position and the muscle fatigue are still preserved in the transformed state space to keep the optimization meaningful. Because after feedback linearization the original linear input constraints may become nonlinear and state-dependent, a barrier cost function is used to overcome this issue. The simulation results show a satisfactory control performance and a reduction in the computation due to the linearization.
