A Probabilistic Approach to Feedforward Fes Control in the Rat Hindlimb
نویسنده
چکیده
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a promising technique to restore behavior to the paralyzed limbs of spinal cord injury patients by artificially stimulating peripheral nerves and/or muscles. However, it is very challenging to design a FES system that continuously modulates behavior using many muscles. So far, FES systems have primarily been successful in restoring either preprogrammed behaviors or relatively simple behaviors with only a few muscles [1]. In this work, we have begun to systematically examine the performance of feedforward FES control of isometric endpoint forces. The results from this research can be used to further improve integrated feedforward-feedback FES control strategies.

Several approaches have been introduced in literature for active noise control (ANC)systems. Since Filtered-x-Least Mean Square (FxLMS) algorithm appears to be the best choice as acontroller filter. Researchers tend to improve performance of ANC systems by enhancing andmodifying this algorithm. This paper proposes a new version of FxLMS algorithm. In many ANCapplications an online secondary pat...

متن کاملExplicit vs. Contrastive-based Instruction of Formulaic Expressions in Developing EFL Learners’ Reading Ability
As an integrative component of textual structure, formulaic expressions (FEs) play a key role in communicating the message and comprehending the text. Furthermore, interlingually contrastive features of FEs add to their both significance and complexity of their instruction. Given these facts, this study was an attempt to explore a sound mechanism on how to teach FEs; whether an explicit or CA-...
متن کاملHuman-FES Cooperative Control for Wrist Movement: A Preliminary Study
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) sometimes applies to patients with partial paralysis, so human voluntary control and FES control both exist. Our study aims to build a cooperative controller to achieve human-FES cooperation. This cooperative controller is formed by a classical FES controller and an impedance controller. The FES controller consists of a back propagation (BP) neural networ...
