چکیده
With getting older in the whole population, the prevalence of stroke and its residual disability is getting higher and higher recently in Taiwan. The functional electrical stimulation cycling system (FESCS) is useful for hemiplegic patients. Because that the muscle of stroke patients is under hybrid activation. The raw electromyography (EMG) represents the residual muscle force of stroke subject whereas the peak-to-peak of stimulus EMG indicates the force enhancement benefiting from ES. It seems that EMG signals could be used for a parameter of feedback control mechanism. So, we design the feedback control protocol of FESCS, it includes physiological signal recorder, FPGA biomedical module, DAC and electrical stimulation circuit. Using the intensity of real-time EMG signal obtained from patients, as a feedback control method for the output voltage of FES-cycling system. Keywords—Functional Electrical Stimulation cycling system EMG, control protocol.

متن کاملClinical Applications of FES-cycling to SCI and Stroke Subjects for Smoother and Symmetrical Movement Patterns
Pedaling exercise on a bicycle ergometer is possible for spinal cord injured (SCI) and stroke patients who are preparing to maintain or recover functional movement abilities. The aims of this study are to develop tailor-made stimulation paradigms that can be applied to varied groups of subjects including complete and incomplete SCI, and stroke subjects for FES-cycling training. Compared to para...
متن کاملA Virtual Reality-Cycling Training System for Lower Limb Balance Improvement
Stroke survivors might lose their walking and balancing abilities, but many studies pointed out that cycling is an effective means for lower limb rehabilitation. However, during cycle training, the unaffected limb tends to compensate for the affected one, which resulted in suboptimal rehabilitation. To address this issue, we present a Virtual Reality-Cycling Training System (VRCTS), which sense...
متن کاملGenetic Feedforward-Feedback Controller for Functional Electrical Stimulation Control of Elbow Joint Angle
Background: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is the most commonly used system for restoring functions after spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective: In this study we investigated feedback PID and feedforward-feedback P-PID controllers for regulating the elbow joint angle. Methods: The controllers were tuned based on a nonlinear muculoskeletal model containing two links, one joint with one de...
متن کاملCadence control system for paediatric functional electrical stimulation cycling
Functional electrical stimulation can be used to enable spinal cord injured children to participate in cycling training as part of a fitness programme or exercise testing procedure. Exercise can reduce the impact of secondary health conditions due to the injury. Functional electrical stimulation has shown promising results in adults with a spinal cord injury, but additional considerations are n...
