Abstract Background Functional electrical stimulation FES has been used to improve function in individuals with hemiparesis following stroke. An ideal functional electrical stimulation FES system needs an accurate mathematical model capable of designing subject and task-specific stimulation patterns. Such a model was previously developed in our laboratory and shown to predict the isometric forces produced by the quadriceps femoris muscles of able-bodied individuals and individuals with spinal cord injury in response to a wide range of clinically relevant .
