Development of an IoT Electrostimulator with Closed-Loop Control

Sensors, 2022
The most used approach in the motor rehabilitation of spinal cord injury is functional electrical stimulation. However, current devices do not provide real-time feedback, work in the closed-loop, and became remotely operable. In this scenario, this paper
