Abstract
FES requires an accurate model of electrically stimulated muscles to control the muscle contraction force. Characterization of electrically stimulated muscle is complex because of the non-linearity and time varying nature of the system with interdependent variables. The muscle model consists of passive properties and active properties. In this research a new approach for estimating passive and active properties of the electrically stimulated quadriceps muscle group is investigated. The objective of this study is to develop a model for the passive and active joint properties of paraplegic for control system development. Passive properties such as elasticity moment and viscosity moment are identified from a passive pendulum test. Active properties including muscle activation and contraction are identified from an electrically stimulated swinging leg test. The identification and estimation approach are based on genetic algorithm tuning of a fuzzy system.
