Abstract :
In order to improve the performance of the lower-limb FES cycling, a method of measuring the automatic control Power in the cycling was developed based on the estimation of dynamic models of the response from muscle stimulation intensity to power. The identified models were used for analytical design of feedback controllers. The results showed that this method had ability to achieve an accurate control of power and track arbitrary signals obtained from healthy adults, which shows its feasibility to the experiment on the paraplegic.
