Abstract
Recent work involving the use of robots in stroke rehabilitation has developed model-based algorithms to control the application of functional electrical stimulation to the upper limb of stroke patients with incomplete paralysis to assist in reaching tasks. This, in turn, requires the identification of the response of a human muscle to electrical stimulation. In this chapter an overview of the progress reported in the literature is given together with some currently open research questions.
