Abstract

As one of control command input methods for functional electrical stimulation (FES) system, a control device using the eye movements was described in this paper. In order to detect the eye movements, we designed the video-based control command input device and verified its performance in experiments. The experimental results showed that the beginner healthy subject could appropriately operate the device just after 10-minute training, and that the video-based control command input device for FES system was effective.
