Abstract

In this chapter electrode arrays are combined with single-pad electrodes to produce a rehabilitation system that supports functional task practice. Performance and usability of the system is then assessed with stroke participants in a clinical trial. The control system employs the electrode array control scheme developed in the last chapter within the general control framework developed in Chap. 6. This thereby demonstrates how arrays and single-pad electrodes can be transparently combined within the same control scheme.
