Abstract;EMG signals were measured during voluntary elbow flexion with different shoulder position maintained and with shoulder flexion controlled by an active orthosis. The EMG signals were compared mutually. The results suggested that 2-dimensional stimulus data was effective in functional electrical stimulation(FES) for controlling paralyzed upper extremities. A command input system using residual motor function for motor disabled patients was constructed, and the command input system was found to be applicable to the residual motor functions providing good performance of the FES system operation.
