Abstract:
A muscle control device includes an electromyography (EMG) electrode unit including a plurality of electrodes, and that senses an EMG signal, an EMG circuit unit that generates channel data, based on electrode signals, a control unit that receives the channel data, extracts a volitional electromyography signal, based on the channel data, and determines FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) stimulation parameters, based on the volitional electromyography signal, an FES electrode unit that outputs a functional electrical stimulation, based on the FES stimulation parameters, and an FES circuit unit that receives the FES stimulation parameters, generates the functional electrical stimulation, based on the FES stimulation parameters, and transmits the functional electrical stimulation to the FES electrode unit, and the control unit recognizes a direction and an intensity of a motion from the volitional electromyography signal, based on the volitional electromyography signal and adjusts an intensity of the functional electrical stimulation.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a system and a method for volitional electromyography (vEMG) signal detection from an EMG signal when functional electrical stimulation (FES) is applied. The system for vEMG signal detection includes a receiver for receiving data from an EMG electrode when FES is applied, a memory for storing a program for detecting a vEMG signal using the received data, and a processor for executing the program, wherein the processor cuts the data received from the EMG electrode disposed at a predetermined position, calculates a difference between data for previous FES and data for current FES, and detects the vEMG signal using the calculated difference.
Abstract:
Provided is a circuit board, which may include a base layer, an adhesive film, a conductive circuit, and a through via. The adhesive film and the conductive circuit may be provided in plurality to be alternately stacked on the base layer. The through via may be formed through soldering. Since the base layer is not damaged during the soldering, the through via may include various conductive materials. The through via makes it possible to easily connect the conductive circuits having different functions to one another. Accordingly, the circuit board may have multi functions. Thicknesses of the conductive circuits may be adjusted to protect the conductive circuits from folding or bending of the base layer. The circuit board having a multi-layered structure can function not only as a fabric or clothes but also as an electronic circuit.
