Abstract
This paper describes and discusses the employment of EMG pattern analysis to provide upper-motor-neuron paraplegics with patient-responsive control of FES (functional electrical stimulation) for the purpose of walker-supported walking. The use of above - lesion EMG signals as a solution to the control problem is considered. The AR (autoregressive) parameters are identified by Kalman filter algorithm using DSP chip and classified by fuzzy theory. The control and stimuli part of the below-lesion are based on microprocessor(8031). The designed stimulator is a 4-channel version. The experiments described above have only attempted to discriminate between standing function and sit-down function. A further advantage of the this system is applied for motor rehabilitation of social readaption of paralyzed humans.
