Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Surface ElectroMyoGraphic (sEMG) signal analysis is crucial for controlling Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) therapy in neuro-muscular disorder rehabilitation.
  • Developing portable, real-time embedded systems with lightweight signal processing is essential for active rehabilitation techniques.
  • The Average Threshold Crossing (ATC) technique shows promise due to its event-driven nature, high correlation with muscle force, and sparse representation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an embedded ATC-FES control system with a multi-platform Graphical User Interface (GUI).
  • To assess the system's real-time performance, including CPU/memory usage and system latency.
  • To evaluate the system's effectiveness in replicating voluntary movements through FES in healthy subjects.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of an embedded ATC-FES control system with a user-friendly GUI.
  • Characterization and validation of the system's CPU/memory usage and latency under various conditions.
  • Testing system effectiveness on 11 healthy subjects, measuring cross-correlation coefficients between voluntary and FES-induced limb movements.

Main Results:

  • The embedded ATC-FES system demonstrated real-time capabilities with a 140 ms FES definition process.
  • High CPU and memory efficiency were observed across different operating conditions.
  • Significant cross-correlation coefficients (0.87 ± 0.07 for elbow flexion, 0.93 ± 0.02 for knee extension) were achieved, indicating effective stimulation.

Conclusions:

  • The developed embedded ATC-FES system is a viable and effective solution for active neuro-muscular rehabilitation.
  • The system meets real-time requirements and demonstrates high accuracy in replicating voluntary movements.
  • This technology shows strong potential for practical application in real-world therapy scenarios.
