噛みしめ動作をインタフェースに用いた機能的電気刺激によるヒト手指関節制御の検討

抄録

We proposed a functional electrical stimulation (FES) system using a clenching motion as trigger based on a relationship between clenching and grasping motion. In the proposed system, wearable device "earable™" was used to measure the clenching motion. This device is suitable for daily use because it does not require a sensor insertion into subject’s mouth and external holding. We indicated the proposed system could control a joint stiffness and a joint angle of a MP joint which are components of grasping motion.
