| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to develop a light weight small size electrical stimulator for a lower limbs paralysis to recover their functions by reorganizing of central nervous system in daily living. The movement and EMG of the lower limb in two stroke subjects for a device design. Wireless measurement system was constructed to prevent falls by instrumental wires. Four prototype small electrical stimulators of 1ch output controlled by a 1ch EMG signal input were produced and were set at lower extremities of a healthy subject who wore Ankle Foot Orthosis. It was confirmed that each stimulators could be worked without interfering.
