Abstract

There are motor point maps as index of stimulation points to move each muscle for functional electrical stimulation (FES). However we'll usually have to search detailed motor points by trial and error when arranging electrodes since individual differences are large. In this research, we developed a system aids searching motor points of fingers and wrist muscles. It contains 12 × 10 electrodes which cover a forearm and sensors which catch movement of each finger and wrist. It chooses a pair of electrodes in order and stimulates a subject. When the response was measured, it records the response movement and the position of electrode pair. As a result, we obtained the generated motor point map.
