description

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) appears as a way of extremely promising research today to solve numerous pathology connected to the deficiencies of the nervous system. It is usually used for the rehabilitation of people with neurological disorders. Generally, skeletal muscles are activated by using Constant Frequency Trains (CFTs) with a fixed amplitude and inter-pulse duration. In addition, the systems of electrical stimulation do not adapt the parameters stimulation to obtain a desired force response during the rehabilitation session. The purpose of this study is to adapt automatically the stimulation parameters to the force desired by the clinician with an intelligent PID controller which optimizes the amplitude of pulse in the stimulation pattern.
