Abstract
A rapid prototyping environment for functional electrical stimulation has been developed with goals of facilitating the exploration of new concepts in neuroprosthetic control and simplifying the process of moving controllers from the laboratory to the home setting. Using the system, rehabilitation engineers can develop controllers as block diagrams, without the involvement of a software engineer. The system is successfully controlling the upper extremities of four people with spinal cord injuries
