Problems solved by technology

However, because EEG has the characteristics of weak signal, low signal-to-noise ratio, and strong non-stationarity, there are not only differences among individuals, but also differences within individuals. At present, it is still impossible to use EEG to realize autonomous rehabilitation training.

Abstract

The invention discloses a functional electrical stimulation device. The device comprises: a signal acquisition unit used to collect an EEG signal and an attitude signal of a target limb; an EEG signalprocessing unit for processing the EEG signal and determining whether the EEG signal has motion imaginary information or not; an attitude signal processing unit used to process an attitude signal when the EEG signal has the motion imaging information and determine the feature value corresponding to the attitude signal; and an electrical stimulation output unit used to output electrical stimulation corresponding to the characteristic value to a muscle group corresponding to the joint to-be-stimulated. Through the device, the patient's motion intention is transmitted to the muscle group corresponding to the joint to-be-stimulated, a manner that the normal human nerve conveys a motion intention is simulated, and the self-controlled rehabilitation training of the affected limb is carried out.The invention also discloses a functional electrical stimulation system which has the corresponding technical effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of auxiliary medical rehabilitation training equipment, in particular to a functional electrical stimulation device and system. Background technique [0002] The frequent occurrence of strokes and traffic accidents has led to an increase in the number of patients with spinal cord injuries year by year. The traditional rehabilitation method is for patients to cooperate with rehabilitation teachers for passive rehabilitation training. This training method does not have a good rehabilitation effect. [0003] For patients with severe hemiplegia, it is necessary to provide a way for users to automatically control and communicate and control the external environment. Studies have found that under the control of external stimuli or voluntary behavior and consciousness, the electroencephalogram (EEG) activity signals produced by the human body show different spatiotemporal patterns, and the EEG signal is a signal that does no...
