<p>@ A system for stimulating a grasping action by a paralyzed hand includes a sensor arrangement (21) for detecting movement of a shoulder by the paralyzed person. The sensor transmits shoulder movement signals to a computerized controller (20) which generates stimulation signals for stimulation electrodes mounted within a cuff (22) worn about the forearm which supports the hand to be stimulated. Closed loop control is accomplished by use of a glove (23) to which are attached a length sensor and a pressure sensor connected for alternative selection.</p> |
