Abstract

A method in order to restore the body movement by means of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) was considered. Multichannel EMG signals from a normal subject during the rolling-over motion were measured and analyzed. The results of the experiment indicated the synergetic role of the muscles during the desired motion.
