| Research Abstract |
The applicants have established a methodology that extracts a muscle synergy, joint equilibrium and joint stiffness from EMG signals. In this project, we generate electrical stimulation patterns of antagonist muscle pairs for motor learning supportbased on the methodology, and validated that we can control joint equilibrium and stiffness. An advantage of this method is that we do not use elaborate nonlinear transformation.
