Abstract
This paper presents the design of a smart intent-based triggering system to trigger a functional electric stimulator, based on an electromyography (EMG) measurement of voluntary muscle activity and IMU measurement of gait. Thus, an atrophied/weakened muscle is electrically stimulated by identifying predefined gestures and EMG signal strength of the active muscle bundle, thereby restoring the movements of the affected muscle. This smart FES triggering system is designed as a strap on module and deployed at the site of the affected muscle.
