Popis: The purpose of this study is to determine the tibiofemoral forces during functional electrical stimulation (FES) rowing in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). We analysed the motion of five participants with SCI during FES rowing, with simultaneous measurements of (i) three-dimensional marker trajectories, (ii) foot reaction forces (FRFs), (iii) ergometer handle forces, and (iv) timestamps for electrical stimulation of the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles. We created full-body musculoskeletal models in OpenSim to determine subject-specific tibiofemoral forces during FES rowing. The peak magnitudes of tibiofemoral forces averaged over five participants with SCI were 2.43 ± 0.39 BW and 2.25 ± 0.71 BW for the left and right legs, respectively. The peak magnitudes of FRFs were 0.19 ± 0.04 BW in each leg. The peak magnitude of handle forces was 0.47 ± 0.19 BW. Peak tibiofemoral force was associated with peak FRF (magnitudes, R
