A distributed three-channel wireless Functional Electrical Stimulation system for automated triggering of stimulation to enable coordinated task execution by patients with neurological disease
This paper resulted through collaboration with Prof. Swain at Salisbury district hospital. Mecheraoui a PhD student was supported by £80k of matched funding from Odstock Medical Limited (OML) and an EPSRC CASE grant (No: 07001367). Commended at the IET body-centric wireless communications conference (London 2009), the work led to recruitment of two further match-funded PhD students: Merson to investigate an adaptive stimulus control system and Venugopalan to investigate application of the technology to assist spinal injured patients. The developed systems are being incorporated into new OML products. Both Mecheraoui and Merson are now employed my OML to further this work.
