SYSTEM FOR TREATING PARALYZED PERSONS Abstract of the Disclosure Apparatus and method for therapeutic treatment of persons having paralyzed legs. The apparatus and method make use of four sets of transcutaneous electrodes which are placed above the iliac and quadriceps muscles of the paralyzed person. The person is seated upon an exercycle, and a series of pulsed stimulation signals are applied to the electrodes to cause coordinated contraction of the iliac and quadriceps muscles. This causes pedaling of the exercycle by the paralyzed legs. A position sensor senses the position of the pedals and transmits an indication thereof to a computer which generates control signals for stimulation driving circuits connected to the stimulation electrodes. A pair of paddle controllers are connected to the computer for manual adjustment of the stimulation amplitude.
