title: Development of a circuit for functional electrical stimulation.
abstract: This paper examines the various design of a multiple-purpose portable functional electrical stimulator which is used in surface stimulation of paralyzed muscle of patients with stroke and results in limb activation. The functionality, circuit performance and reliability of the circuits will be examined. Analysis, design, and experimental results are presented.
