Rapid Prototyping for Functional Electrical Stimulation Control
|
Electrical muscle stimulators can help restore limb function following a neurological injury. However, complex neuromuscular stimulators need a straightforward software interface to simplify hardware programming and make patient care more efficient. The Clinical Set-up Tool integrates fast parameter selection with a user-friendly interface. The system could potentially operate on portable devices, such as mobile phones, increasing its potential for widespread acceptance in the clinical community.
