A Basic Study on Control Command Input Device Using Head Movement for FES System ― Availability of Acceleration Sensors―

摘要

As one of control command input methods for functional electrical stimulation (FES) system, using the head movements was considered in this paper. In order to detect the head movements, we designed a prototype control command input device using acceleration sensors and verified its validity in experiments. The experimental results showed that the head movements in the lateral flexion and in the flexion/extension were highly detected and separated by the acceleration sensors.
