Abstract(in English) Sendai FES Research Project uses stimulus data based on EMG signals from normals to restore paralyzed motor functions by FES. However, Adjustment of stimulus data is required for each muscle. The goal of our study is to develop the FES simulator which can estimate motions of patients during electrical stimulation. The FES simulator will make it possible to get adequate data for each patient without many times of trial and error modification of the data with the patient. This study aims to make musculoskeletal model for estimating whole body motion developed by FES. For this purpose, it is important to consider the geometry of bones and the fact that musclotendons are surrounded by ohter tissues. In this report, by introducing musculotendon guide, simulation results showed agreements approximatery with experimental results.
