Paper Abstract:
|
As a fundamental study for the development of adaptive neurological limbs prosthesis using a computer controlled human machine interactive system, a neuro-physiological experiment was carried out using rats. The rats were surgically implanted with electrodes in the motor cortex, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Neuro-electrical signals were recorded in voluntary and involuntary movements of the legs. Obtained data under two sets of conditions were compared and analyzed. Using our experimental model, neurophysiological characteristics of motor generation were revealed. Based upon these results, conceptual design of a new computer controlled prosthesis for disabled was discussed. |
