چکیده

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has shown the potential of being a valuable clinical option for the correction of gait in the child with cerebral palsy (CP) [1]. The usefulness of these systems, however, is dependent upon a clinically feasible method of predicting gait events in order to deliver electrical stimulation to the muscles at the appropriate time. In the past, the control over electrical stimulation has been primarily through the use of force sensing resistors (FSRs) placed in the insole of the shoe [2]. Research in our lab has been directed towards replacing this control interface by developing algorithms that use electromyographic (EMG) activity to predict gait events, with the overall goal of developing a new control system that is easier to use, cosmetically acceptable, and requires little maintenance.

Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Sliding Mode Based Genetic Algorithm Control System to Control of a pH Neutralization Process

In this paper, an adaptive neuro fuzzy sliding mode based genetic algorithm (ANFSGA) controlsystem is proposed for a pH neutralization system. In pH reactors, determination and control of pH isa common problem concerning chemical-based industrial processes due to the non-linearity observedin the titration curve. An ANFSGA control system is designed to overcome the complexity of precisecontrol o...

Dynamic Balance During Gait in Children With Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy Versus Normal Children

Purpose: Cerebral Palsy (CP) can negatively affect dynamic stability in children with spastic diplegic Cerebral Palsy during walking. This condition results in a high risk of falling. There is limited evidence regarding the dynamic stability of children with Cerebral Palsy. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the dynamic stability of children with spastic diplegic Cerebral Palsy, compared to ...

Integer-order Versus Fractional-order Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Electrically Driven Robots with Elastic Joints

Real-time robust adaptive fuzzy fractional-order control of electrically driven flexible-joint robots has been addressed in this paper. Two important practical situations have been considered: the fact that robot actuators have limited voltage, and the fact that current signals are contaminated with noise. Through of a novel voltage-based fractional order control for an integer-order dynamical ...
