Abstract

This paper describes an improved FES system to restorp paralyzed extremities in spinal-cord-injured patients. By using time-division method in the proposed FES system, we can reduce the size and weight of system despite of increasing channels. We designed a DC-DC converter to adapt the condition of each patient. We could reduce the cost by using easily available apparatus like an IBM-PC for the stimulus-pattern-creating system and standardized parts for the protable FES system.
