| Abstract(in English) | Functional Electrical Stimulation(FES) is widely used for restoring movements of paralyzed upper extremities. When it is applied to restoration of shoulder movements that have high degree of freedom, the number of stimulus electrode is increased and control of movement is difficult. In order to solve this problem, we proposed Hybrid FES which restores elbow function with FES and shoulder one with an active(motorized) orthosis. Analysis of electromyogram(EMG) obtained from normal subjects can be an effective method of creating stimulus patterns for FES. Interpolation of measured EMG signals was adopted into a creation method of stimulus patterns for Hybrid FES. Hence we measured EMG signals during voluntary elbow flexion with shoulder posture maintained by the orthosis, and interpolated the signals for creating stimulus patterns. Then, usefulness of the interpolated pattern in restoring movements by means of the Hybrid FES was investigated. We also studied influence of movement velocity on the EMG signals, and discussed range of movement velocity restored. |
