An Event-Driven Closed-Loop System for Real-Time FES Control

The paper proposes an event-driven sEMG-control-FES system based on the ATC muscle processing approach, which allows an online and real-time FES intensity modulation. The promising outcomes of our experimental tests, both in terms of movement reproducibility and system processing latency (thanks to the low ATC computational cost), demonstrate the feasibility of the ATC-control-FES in the rehabilitation scenario, which provides satisfactory results similar to other state-of-the-art works (as reported in table II). Starting from this point, we will further investigate additional applications in which an event-driven control could be implemented, e.g. the exoskeleton or prosthetic control.
