Abstract(in English) A control command source for FES system used by high-level quadriplegic patients needs to be independent of ADL (Activities of Daily Living) of the user and be operated easily.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the transcutenous measurement of tongue motions as a control command source.An experimental system consists of a latticed membrane switches.It detects the tongue motion which is performed vertically , first position.More command signals can be obtained by combination of these motions.It was confirmed by experiments on normal subjects that tongue motions can be used as a control command source for FES system,and above system is effective for measuring tongue motions.
