Experimental setup used for FES-cycling training. The intervention lasted 3 weeks (15 sessions) and each daily session consisted of 60 min of usual care and 25 min of FES-cycling training. FES-cycling required the use of a cycle-ergometer, force sensors at the pedals, and a neuromuscular electrical stimulator connected to 8 muscles (4 for each legs). The figure shows also the visual feedback displayed to the subject during training and the FES electrodes placement (on the right)
