A neuro-adaptive control system for knee joint movements during quadriceps electrical stimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A neuro-adaptive control system was designed to control the knee joint flexo-extension movements in accordance with desired trajectories, through electrical stimulation of quadriceps muscles. This control system consist in an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) used as inverse model and an adaptive ANN trained on PID output which performs a feedback adjustment of control signal. The neuro-adaptive control strategy was tested in several conditions, and its performances resulted better than those of a PID controller alone.

Comparison of generalised and directed co-contraction of knee joint muscles during four different movements to strengthen the quadriceps
Background: The determinant role of different movements to strengthen the quadriceps on rate of knee joint co-contraction, hamstring to quadriceps muscle activity ratio and vastus medialis to vastus lateralis muscle activity ratio provides useful information for therapists, coaches and athletes about the role of each movement in the rehabilitation of patients with anterior cruc...

A robust control strategy for closed-loop control of hindlimb movement induced by epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord is developed here. The method is based on adaptive fuzzy neuro-sliding mode control (AFNSMC). An AFNSMC is designed for multi-joint extension movement as well as flexion movement. The multi-joint flexion and extension movements are generated by stimulating t...

This paper highlights the benefits of using intelligent model based controllers to produce FES induced sit-to-stand movement (FES-STS), in terms of reducing energy cost and producing more natural responses in comparison with conventional controllers. A muscle energy expenditure model for the quadriceps is implemented in the control design of FES-STS, then simulation is run for three different c...

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...
متن کاملFunctional electrical stimulation controlled by artificial neural networks: pilot experiments with simple movements are promising for rehabilitation applications.
This study falls within the ambit of research on functional electrical stimulation for the design of rehabilitation training for spinal cord injured patients. In this context, a crucial issue is the control of the stimulation parameters in order to optimize the patterns of muscle activation and to increase the duration of the exercises. An adaptive control system (NEURADAPT) based on artificial...
