Abstract
The loss of motor function of limbs will
cause severe impairment of daily activity. In
classical rehabilitation program, the
outcomes of the cervical spinal cord injury
(SCI) patients are determined by the residual
motor function. Functional Electrical
Stimulation (FES), which stimulated
paralyzed muscles by computer to provide
“extra” muscle power, could restore the
motor functions which could not be done in
classical program. Therefore, using FES
system to restore the abilities for activities of
daily living is one of the major therapeutic
methods in rehabilitation.
The most common cervical SCI patients
with C5/C6 quadriplegia are selected as our
subjects. In these patients, the elbow
extensors and the wrist extensors are
generally paralyzed. Therefore, our goal is to
use a FES system to restore the function of
these paralyzed muscles with proper
orthoses.
In the first year, we applied the orthoses
and surface FES to accomplish elbow
movement and hand closing. The FES system
contained a diagonal recurrent neural
network controller to provide suitable
stimulation. The computer simulation and
clinical examination of this FES system
demonstrated the preliminary success.
