Abstract
DEMAR aims at rehabilitation engineering using Functional Electrical Stimulation based on the automatic control theoretical approach but also on the physiology of the system studied, to obtain a useable and useful therapy for disabled people. To simulate, synthesize, and control movements of impaired limbs using Functional Electrical Stimulation, modelling is necessary. Living actuators, i.e. muscles, sensors, i.e. Golgi Tendon Organs and muscle spindles, need to be understood and modelled to perform realistic numerical simulations. The paper describes some results obtained in the DEMAR team.
