Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be used to restore motor function to individuals with motion impairments; however, the duration of FES usage is limited by the rapid onset of muscle fatigue. A motor-assist can be used to compensate for the muscle fatigue by sharing work load of FES. However, it is unknown how to optimally allocate control effort to the motor-assist and FES as the muscle...
The torque generation capability of muscles often reduces during a functional electrical stimulation (FES) session due to the rapid onset of muscle fatigue. Hybrid rehabilitation systems that use FES and electric motor assist may overcome this issue. The primary control challenge in such a system is how to allocate control inputs between electric motor and FES during muscle fatigue and muscle recovery...
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a prescribed treatment for various neuromuscular disorders, where an electrical stimulus is provided to elicit a muscle contraction. Barriers to the development of NMES controllers exist because the muscle response to an electrical stimulation is nonlinear and the muscle model is uncertain. Efforts in this paper focus on the development of an adaptive...
