A microprocessor controlled device (MeCFES) was used for the investigation of the possibility of restoring hand function in C5 tetraplegics with paralysis of the hand. To date, 3 tetraplegics have been testing the system. The myoelectric signals from wrist extension were recorded and used as control signals for functional electrical stimulation (FES) of thumb adduction/flexion. The results have shown that the device can improve the hand function of tetraplegics. In this part of the work, a hand function test was designed and used to assess the results.
一种微处理器控制的设备(MeCFES)被用于研究恢复手部瘫痪的C5级四肢瘫痪患者手部功能的可能性。迄今为止,已有3名四肢瘫痪患者对该系统进行了测试。记录来自手腕伸展的肌电信号,并将其用作拇指内收/屈曲功能性电刺激(FES)的控制信号。结果表明,该设备可以改善四肢瘫痪患者的手部功能。在这部分工作中,设计了一项手部功能测试并用于评估结果。
