Abstract:The knee hybrid exoskeleton is a system that aids in the rehabilitation of patients with mobility disorders. It comprises a powered exoskeleton and functional electrical stimulation, which moves the knee joint by stimulating the muscles. However, electrical stimulation of muscles can lead to muscle fatigue. For the first time, this article investigates the regulation of muscle fatigue by controlling muscle activation. To control muscle activation, an innovative adaptive controller for FES is designed. The adap… Show more
