Abstract :
A computerized voice-controlled electrical stimulation system has been developed to help restore limited hand functions for quadriplegics and enhance mental/motor capabilities for brain injured or mentally retarded persons. Paralyzed hands are enabled to open and close through safe, noninvasive, mild electrical stimulation of forearm muscles. The user communicates with his/her hand through a voice operated computer controlling the stimulation
