Title
Motor Point Tracking Stimulation of Biceps Brachii Using Multi Electrodes Based on Functional Electrical Stimulation
Abstract
Muscle contraction via functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been proved effective in the rehabilitation of motor functions. However, different from voluntary contraction, electrical stimulation causes rapid muscle fatigue. In this study, we investigated how muscle fatigue can be reduced via Motor Point (MP) tracking stimulation. Four kinds of stimulation methods were used: simultaneous stimulation (SS), time based shifting stimulation (TSS), 2-channel joint angle based shifting stimulation (JASS), and 3-channel JASS. They were compared for the stimulation of the biceps brachii. The experimental results showed that 3-channel JASS caused the least decrease in the maximal elbow angle and the least decrease rate in the angular velocity induced by FES. In addition, the effect of muscle fatigue reduction was low when the MP tracking accuracy was high but the MP tracking density was low. This shows that both MP tracking accuracy and MP tracking density have to be taken into account when the reduction of muscle fatigue associated with FES should be investigated.
