2P1-E08 Development of the power assist orthosis for the paraplegia Which use the functional electric stimulation

Abstract

The functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a method of treatment with which the electric stimulus is given to the stripe and the nervous system of blotting out paralyzed by the stroke and the spinal injury, etc. , and the movement is rebuilt. Externally powered orthosis supplements the muscle force generated by the electric stimulus, and the power assistance orthosis which stands up and can walk is developed in this research.
