Summary
Injuries to the nervous system, such as spinal cord injury or stroke, can limit a person’s ability to control their muscles. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a therapy that uses electrical pulses applied through electrodes on the skin to activate muscles. FES can improve strength and coordination, but it is difficult to use. Electrodes must be placed precisely over specific muscle locations. This is a time-consuming process that relies on skilled clinicians and must be repeated each session. This project will develop a smart wearable garment that can automatically find the best locat
