Abstract:

Neurological lesions can result in weakness/loss of one or multiple limb movement. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is used to improve/regain mobility in some conditions. However, FES users might experience difficulties using these devices due to wires. This work investigates the feasibility of a wireless FES system which consists of a network of sensors and stimulation units.
