Volitional EMG Controlled Wearable FES System for Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

Muscle rehabilitation by functional electrical stimulation (FES) is one of the effective treatments for the patients with neuromuscular diseases. The conventional FES applications, however, have limitations that utilize predetermined or repetitive stimulation patterns with the help of experts such as physical therapists. Therefore, we propose a wearable FES system in which the stimulus intensity is dynamically controlled by the motion intention of user in this paper.
