Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is used widely in rehabilitation to restore motor functions for paralyzed patients. This paper makes a comprehensive review on current situation of FES. The content includes stimulation interface, applications, FES control, challenges and prospect of FES. Especially, combination FES with electromyography (EMG) and brain computer interface (BCI) is surveyed.
