System design for remote motor function restoration based on 3G wireless mobile technology

Abstract

Repair of injured spinal cords by regeneration therapy remains an elusive goal. In this paper, a system aiming at remote motor function restoration with 3G technology has been presented. This system contains three principle sub-systems: neural signal detecting, communication, and functional electrical stimulation. Functions of each sub-system have been introduced. At the end of this paper, electrical test result of the system has been given, which is qualified for the further animal experiments.
