| Summary: | Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) was famously being applied in controlling
stimulation of muscles for the restoration of movements in paralysed human. Thus, the
development of sensory feedback is necessary to improve the performance of FES systems
by detecting the level of the muscle force. This research project focuses on the development
of a heat feedback parameter in FES. There are two components for this project. Firstly, the
FES stimulator was constructed to produce a suitable stimulation by modulating the input
parameter. A temperature sensor was used to detect the heat produced by the stimulated
muscle. Secondly, two tests were conducted in several able-bodied subjects. First was
voluntary training and second was using stimulation. During tests, the cycling resistance
and amplitude of pulses current was increased. Then, the heat produced was compared to
the muscle contraction level during the contraction of the vastus lateralis muscles and
determine if either the heat produce is correlated to the level contraction of muscle. |
