Abstract :
A myoelectric-controlled stimulator that can sense biopotentials and deliver stimulus pulses to the patient through the same electrodes using time-sharing techniques is described. The stimulus is produced only when demanded, and its amplitude is proportional to the contraction causing this demand.
