1. A system for rehabilitation comprising:
a master controller system, wherein the master controller system is configured to be driven by a master controller system operator's volitional efforts as rotational input at a master system cadence;
a leg-cycle system comprising a motor, wherein the leg-cycle system is configured to be driven by both functional electric stimulation of a rehabilitation participant and the motor; and
a controller for receiving sensor input from the master controller system comprising the master system cadence and to control driving of the leg-cycle system by the functional electric stimulation of the rehabilitation participant and the motor responsive to sensor input from the master controller system and the master system cadence.
