Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A force and motion of the wrist produced by a combined electrical neuromuscular stimulation (ENS) to wrist extensors and flexors were studied in healthy human subjects. The combined ENS was delivered to a pair of two muscles (A, B) of which actions are adjacent to each other. ENS to each muscle with the intensity for the maximum contraction produced a force (AF, BF) and a wrist-bending motion to the maximal range of motion in each individual direction (AM, BM). Simultaneous ENS to the two muscles produced a force in direction between AF and BF, and a wrist-bending motion of the maximum range in direction between AM and BM. Alternating ENS to the two produced and a to-and-flow force between AF and BF, and an arc-drawing motion along a trajectory of the maximum wrist circumduction motion between AM and BM. These findings suggest a possibility that the combined ENS produces a wrist-bending force and motion in every direction and a clockwise and counterclockwise force and motion.
