| Research Abstract |
A prototype FES rehabilitation system was developed and shown to be useful for gait rehabilitation of hemiplegic subjects, in which FES was used to assist in producing voluntary dorsiflexion. Muscle fatigue evaluation index using amplitudes of M-waves elicited by various additional stimulation pulses was proposed and shown to be feasible to apply to repetitive movement training using short time electrical stimulation. It was shown that FES rehabilitation system with muscle fatigue monitor would be realized by implementing the developed techniques.
