A control command input device using a Web camera for a functional electrical stimulation (FES) system has been developed. This input device is composed of a Web camera and a PC. An able-bodied subject's eye movements were detected from the Web camera employing an efficient image processing method, and some of these movements were converted into control commands for the FES system. We verified the performance of the system by conducting several experiments. The experimental results showed that the beginner able-bodied subjects could appropriately operate the input device and control the angles of their wrist joints.
