| 摘要 |
A scanning electrode system for a neuroprosthetic device, the system enabling facile adjustment and fine-tuning of a spatial distribution of a local electrical stimulation field across a scanning electrode, by a system user, the scanning electrode system including: (a) at least one scanning electrode for the neuroprosthetic device, the scanning electrode for performing functional electrical stimulation (FES) of at least one muscle of a limb of the user; (b) a distribution mechanism for distributing a current to the at least one scanning electrode so as to produce a biased electrical stimulation field across the at least one scanning electrode, the distribution mechanism for operative connection to a muscle stimulator providing electrical stimulation to the scanning electrode system, and (c) control means for adjustment of the biased electrical stimulation field by means of the distribution mechanism, the control means designed and configured so as to be accessable to and operable by the system user. |
