Abstract :
A portable percutaneous, intramuscular-electrode-type, 30-channel electrical stimulation system has been developed which has the capability of both functional electrical stimulation (FES) and therapeutic electrical stimulation (TES). This system was developed with an emphasis on flexibility, which makes it easily adaptable to various patients, easy to operate, and durable. The control sensors will be further enhanced in order to make effective use of the patients´s remaining functions
