This paper presents the development of a novel functional electrical stimulation (FES) system. New approaches in emerging rehabilitation robotics propose the use of residual muscular activity or limbs movements during the rehabilitation process of neuromotor. More ambitious projects propose the use of FES systems to restore or compensate motor capabilities by controlling existing muscles or subject limbs. These emerging approaches require more sophisticated FES devices in terms of channels, signals controls and portability. In the framework of HYPER project, such devices are being developed to support the main objective of the project: the development of neurorobots and neuroprosthetics to restore functional motor capabilities in patients who suffered cerebrovascular accidents or spinal cord injury. The presented portable FES system includes novel elec-trostimulator circuits and improved channel switching capacities to enable emerging approaches in rehabilitation robotics.
本文介绍了一种新型功能性电刺激（FES）系统的开发。新兴康复机器人技术中的新方法提出，在神经运动康复过程中利用残余肌肉活动或肢体运动。更具雄心的项目提出使用FES系统，通过控制现有肌肉或受试者肢体来恢复或补偿运动能力。这些新兴方法在通道、信号控制和便携性方面需要更复杂的FES设备。在HYPER项目的框架内，正在开发此类设备，以支持该项目的主要目标：开发神经机器人和神经假体，以恢复脑血管意外或脊髓损伤患者的功能性运动能力。所展示的便携式FES系统包括新型电刺激器电路和改进的通道切换能力，以实现康复机器人技术中的新兴方法。
