For individuals with spinal cord injuries, functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) systems can be used to activate paralyzed muscles in order to restore function, provide exercise, or assist in movement therapy. In previous work, the pattern generator/pattern shaper (PG/PS) adaptive controller was evaluated on subjects with spinal cord injuries and was able to automatically adjust stimulation parameters to account for individual subject differences and system response nonlinearities. In this study, the PG/PS control system was utilized in extended trials. Results indicated that the controller adapted stimulation patterns in an online manner to account for changes in system properties due to fatigue.
对于脊髓损伤患者,功能性神经肌肉刺激(FNS)系统可用于激活瘫痪肌肉,以恢复功能、提供锻炼或辅助运动治疗。在先前的研究中,对脊髓损伤患者评估了模式发生器/模式塑造器(PG/PS)自适应控制器,该控制器能够自动调整刺激参数,以适应个体差异和系统响应非线性。在本研究中,PG/PS控制系统用于扩展试验。结果表明,该控制器以在线方式调整刺激模式,以适应因疲劳导致的系统特性变化。
