stroke. Nearly 9 million stroke survivors every year experience mild to
severe disability. The loss of upper extremity function in stroke
survivors still remains a major rehabilitation challenge. The proposed
EMG based FES system can be used for effective upper limb motor
re-education in post stroke upper limb rehabilitation. The governing
feature of the designed system is its synchronous activation, in which
the FES stimulation is dependent on the amplitude of the EMG signal
acquired from the unaffected upper limb muscle of the hemiplegic
patient. This proportionate operation eliminates the undesirable damage
to the patient's skin by generating stimulus in proportion to voluntary
EMG signals. This feature overcomes the disadvantages of currently
available manual motor re-education systems. This model can be used in
home-based post stroke rehabilitation, to effectively improve the upper
limb functions.
