Abstract

This Stroke Rehabilitation Apparatus uses the electromyography triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation as the means of the major therapeutics, and the fastigial nucleus stimulation as the means of the assistant therapeutics. This paper introduces the overall structure of the apparatus, the principle of its component, the EMG processing based on local nonlinear projective filtering algorithm and the alternating treatment modes. The therapeutic apparatus has the features of non-invasiveness, safety, convenience and strong alternating capability.
