Equilibrium-point control of human elbow-joint movement under isometric environment by using multichannel functional electrical stimulation

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is considered an effective technique for aiding quadriplegic persons. However, the human musculoskeletal system has highly nonlinearity and redundancy. It is thus difficult to stably and accurately control limbs using FES. In this paper, we propose a simple FE...
