微机控制截瘫病人步行器的研制

The development of a microcomputer-based walking system for the paraplegics

应用功能性电刺激恢复截瘫病人的行走功能是一种新的、有效的康复手段。本文介绍一种以肌电信号作控制信号,用微机控制的截瘫病人步行器。实验证明,这种步行器能使截瘫病人在自我意识的控制下完成坐下、起立、迈步行走等基本动作。

To restore the walking function of the paraplegics with functional electrical stimulation is a new, effective means for the rehabilitation of paraplegics. In this paper, a microcomputer besed walking system, which uses EMG signal as control signal, for the paraplegies is presented. Clinical applicat, ions demonstrate that this device enables the patient to accomplish such basic actions as sitting down standing up and walking under the patient/s own voluntary control.
