Closed-Loop Control for FES : Past Work and Future Directions Lynch CL

The spinal cord can be damaged by injury or disease, which can lead to medical complications including the loss of motor function. FES is one technique that can be used to replace lost motor function. Many potential clinical applications of FES require closed-loop control of electrical stimulation. This paper outlines the challenges to control that are presented by FES. Also, a set of design criteria for clinical FES applications is proposed; these criteria were developed with input from medical and technical personnel as well as spinal cord injured individuals. Lastly, a review of the state of the art in closed-loop control of FES is provided, and a framework for future work on clinical FES systems is
