Abstract :
In this paper, we review various electrodes with individual design, address the influences of essential stimulator parameters and internal disturbances on the recruitment characteristics, and describe the control strategies of functional electrical stimulation (FES) musculoskeletal systems. The promise of possible directions for further research on safe and effective FES systems are also discussed.
