Abstract :
Multichannel FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) is one of the innovative efficient methods to restore the movement of the paralyzed muscles. An implantable FES system is required in many clinical fields. Electromagnetic interference may cause unexpected disfunction of FES performance. In this paper, an improvement method of immunity performance of the implantable FES system to electromagnetic interference is described
