Abstract

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is the application of electrical current into the body to elicit muscle contractions in order to replace a lost function. We use a square biphasic symmetric waveform stimulation signal, with the following parameters: pulse width range 120-150 μs, frequency stimulation 20-30 Hz and pulse amplitude range 0-110 mA. The stimulation signal is then switch among left/right quadriceps and left/right peronneal nerve, this switching represents the gait cycle and it can be automatic or manually controlled. The user interface and stimulation parameters are controlled from a mixed signal circuit, PSoCTM (Programmable System-on-chip).
