Neuro Fuzzy Control of the Fes Assisted Freely Swinging Leg of Paraplegic Subjects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We designed a neuro fuzzy control strategy for control of cyclical leg movements of paraplegic subjects. The cyclical leg movements were specified by three ‘swing phase objectives’, characteristic of natural human gait. The neuro fuzzy controller is a combination of a fuzzy logic controller and a neural network, which makes the controller self tuning and adaptive. Two experiments have been performed, in which the performance of the neuro fuzzy control strategy has been compared with a conventional PID control strategy.

Adaptive Neuro-Sliding Mode Control of FES-Cycling
To evaluate the physiological effects of FES-cycling, it is crucial that both cadence cycling and workrate are well controlled. However, the major impediment to the development of satisfactory control systems for FES has been the highly non-linear and time-varying properties of electrically stimulated muscle which make control very difficult to achieve and limit the utility of open-loop FES con...
متن کاملCooperative Control for A Hybrid Rehabilitation System Combining Functional Electrical Stimulation and Robotic Exoskeleton
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic exoskeletons are two important technologies widely used for physical rehabilitation of paraplegic patients. We developed a hybrid rehabilitation system (FEXO Knee) that combined FES and an exoskeleton for swinging movement control of human knee joints. This study proposed a novel cooperative control strategy, which could realize arbitrary dist...

In this paper we present a method to generate optimal stimulation pattern for walker-assisted paraplegic walking using FES systems. To determine the stimulation patterns, a musculoskeletal model of walker-assisted FES-supported paraplegic walking is introduced. The optimal stimulation patterns are determined through minimizing the trajectory tracking error of the lower body and mechanical energ...
متن کاملAdaptive Neural Network Control of Fes·induced Cyclical Lower Leg Movements
As a first step to the control of paraplegic gait by functional electrical stimulation (FES), the control of the swinging lower leg is being studied. This paper deals with a neural control system, that has been developed for this case. The control system has been tested for a model of the swinging lower leg using computer simulations. The neural controller was trained by supervised learning (SL...
متن کاملDecreasing the Arm Participation in Complete Paraplegic FES-Assisted Sit to Stand
We have developed a method aiming at improving Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) – assisted sit to stand transfer in people with paraplegia. The approach is based on the coordination of upper and lower parts of the body with final objective to reduce arm participation during the rising motion. The proposed approach is based on the observation of trunk acceleration during rising phase and ...
