Abstract
The loss of motor function of limbs in
cervical cord injured patients always result in
severe impairment of daily activities. In
classical rehabilitation program, the
outcomes of the cervical spinal cord injury
(SCI) patients are determined by the residual
motor function. The technique described as
“functional electrical stimulation (FES)”,
which stimulated paralyzed muscles by
computer to provide “extra” muscle power,
could restore the motor functions of SCI
patients. Therefore, application of FES
system becomes an important modern
rehabilitation methodology to restore the
ADL functions of the disabled.
The common C5/C6 quadriplegic
patients are selected as our subjects. Our goal
is to use a FES system to restore the
functions of their paralyzed muscles of upper
limbs.
In the second year, a FES control system
with feedback loop was developed for upper
limbs. The FES system contained a diagonal
recurrent neural network controller to
provide suitable stimulation. The clinical
evaluation of this FES system demonstrated
the preliminary success.
