This study integrates synergy-based Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) with a robotic exoskeleton for upper limb rehabilitation, aiming to improve muscle recruitment, delay muscle fatigue, and reduce motor energy consumption. Preliminary tests with 3 non-disabled subjects indicate that the hybrid system can reduce energy consumption while preserving a good trajectory tracking. Future studies should evaluate the efficacy of this hybrid approach in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes for neurological patients.

摘要

This study integrates synergy-based Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) with a robotic exoskeleton for upper limb rehabilitation, aiming to improve muscle recruitment, delay muscle fatigue, and reduce motor energy consumption. Preliminary tests with 3 non-disabled subjects indicate that the hybrid system can reduce energy consumption while preserving a good trajectory tracking. Future studies should evaluate the efficacy of this hybrid approach in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes for neurological patients.
