The present invention employs FNS stimulation (40) through electrodes (21, 22, 23, 24). The response-EMG is sensed by electrodes (31, 32, 33, 34) for pattern recognition (60) of the response-EMG where pattern parameters are identified whose variation with time is a function of the progression of muscle fatigue. This time variation is employed to adjust FNS pulse width and/or pulse level (50) to compensate for that fatigue in an automatic manner that does not require the patient's attention. The present invention also provides for diagnostic uses of this pattern recognition, and for muscle contractions other than for standing or walking. |
