Since 1960's, functional electrical stimulation (FES) applications has been used to improves, recover and restore several functions of paralyzed muscles due to spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke and any level of injury related to spinal. FES induced movement control is a significantly challenging area due to complexity and nonlinearity of musculoskeletal system which is the complexity control of muscle...
Nowadays, research and developments of control system for spinal cord injury (SCI) using functional electrical stimulation (FES) is widely used. Restoring mobility to persons with paraplegia with regard to FES-approaches for function restoration is really challenging issues. A sarcastic view of FES is the complexity control of muscle motor function by the artificial activation of paralyzed muscles...
This paper focuses on developing a novel approach for measuring body joint angles, mainly the knee angles, for surface electrical stimulator system. In this work, we only focus on the sensing mechanism for measuring the knee joint angle using wearable sensors. Our system consists of multiple flex-sensors mounted on a supportive cloth and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) vibratory gyroscope. In...
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a promising way to restore mobility to Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients by applying low-level electrical current to the paralyzed muscles so as to enhance that person's ability to function and live independently. However, due to the limited number of commercially available FES assisted exerciser systems and their rather high cost, the conventional devices...
A spinal cord injury (SCI) has a severe impact on human life in general as well as on the physical status and condition. The use of electrical signals to restore the function of paralyzed muscles is called functional electrical stimulation (FES). FES is a promising way to restore mobility to SCI by applying low-level electrical current to the paralyzed muscles so as to enhance that person's ability...
