中風復康互動單車 [由專業治療師和中風患者分享和解釋] Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Cycling System

由專業治療師和中風患者分享和解釋中風復康互動單車
It was designed for individuals with stroke or lower limb disability, it integrated both motor power and muscle power to facilitate the rehabilitation exercise. By using the intensity of electromyography (EMG) signals as the inputs for the voluntary intention (muscle activities from surface electrodes), the motor can be driven to rotate with different speeds to facilitate the cycling motion, and the electrical pulses from the FES device can stimulate the target muscles to generate muscle contraction to support the continuous cycling movement, which not only can help to strengthen their muscles but also train the brain to relearn the muscle coordination.
