The CACAO team has developed an expertise in the application of electrical stimulation for assisting seat-to-seat transfers and pedaling for people with paraplegia. The team shared a unique experience in 2016 by participating in the first Cybathlon techno-sports games with a Brazilian driver and a French driver in the assisted bicycle race. The team wishes to continue the work by optimizing the quality of pedaling to participate in the Cybathlon 2020 and extending the technique for the rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia in a rehabilitation context.
Informal International Partners
We have an ongoing informal collaboration with Andrew Murray (DIMLAB, Dayton University) on the design of complex mechanisms in the context of cycling (trike design) and grasping (orthosis design).
