Neuroprosthetics
Abstract-One of the challenging issues in computational rehabilitation is
that there is a large variety of patient situations depending on the type of
neurological disorder. Human characteristics are basically subject specific and
time variant; for instance, neuromuscular dynamics may vary due to muscle
fatigue. To tackle such patient specificity and time-varying characteristics,
a robust bio-signal processing and a precise model-based control
which can manage the nonlinearity and time variance of the system, would bring break-through and new modality toward comZhan Li and Mitsuhiro Hayashibe

between eEMG and stimulated muscular torque. This paper presents a
