| Research Abstract |
In this study, we developed a system which enhances human motor skills by using multichannel functional electrical stimulation(FES). The only requirement of the proposed system is to put some electrodes on the user' s limbs to be assisted. Our system then provides a physical support of how to move user' s limbs, electrically stimulating his muscles. This low cost system may be useful for substituting the labors of motor training performed by expert instructors and physical therapists. It would be also useful for establishing a novel teaching method in sports coaching and rehabilitation.
