Abstract(in English) In order to develop a user-friendly Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)system with high level of safety, we studied man-machine interface of the FES system considering reconstruction of gait of hemiplegics. First, recognition of different walking patterns(straight on the level floor, upstairs and downstairs)was studied using an artificial neural network(ANN)based on acceleration waveforms measured during the walking with six normal subjects. We found that the ANN could recognize each walking pattern in real time. This method will be useful in monitoring FES movement for safety. We also found that a similar structure of the ANN could recognize specific movements of the lower limb from acceleration patterns. This technique can be applied to detecting control commands to the FES system without using the upper limb.
