Electromyography signal bridge and motor function rebuilding of paralyzed limbs based on principles of communication of body-sensor network

In this presentation the motor function rebuilding of paralyzed limbs of hemiplegic patients after stroke and paraplegic patients due to spinal cord injury is concerned. Novel biomedical methods and traditional physical methods for the rehabilitation of two kinds of paralyses are reviewed. The core part is to discuss the electromyography signal bridge and the rebuilding of limb functions based on principles of communication of body sensor network and functional electrical stimulation. For the communication part, a ZigBee system and a super-regenerative system are incorporated. The construction of the whole bio-electronic system, the animal experiments, and the preliminary experiments on healthy subjects and paralyzed patients will be demonstrated.
