Repetitive Control of Electrical Stimulation for Tremor Suppression
Open accessAbstract
Tremor is a rapid involuntary movement often seen in patients with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. This debilitating oscillation can be suppressed by applying functional electrical stimulation (FES) within a closed-loop control system. However, conventional implementations use classical control methods and have proved capable of only limited performance. This paper establishes the feasibility of embedding repetitive control (RC) action to exploit the capability of learning from experience to completely suppress tremor at the wrist via FES regulated co-contraction of wrist extensors/flexors. A nonlinear model structure and associated identification procedure are first proposed to guarantee stability and performance of the RC system. Then a linearizing control approach is developed to facilitate transparent RC design, together with a mechanism to preserve patients' voluntary intention. Experimental evaluation is performed with both unimpaired and neurologically impaired participants using a validated wrist-rig. For the former group, a novel electromechanical system is employed to induce tremor artificially. Results are bench-marked against a well-known classical filtering technique to establish the efficacy of the RC approach. These confirm that the proposed control system with the developed model identification procedure can increase tremor suppression by 43.3% compared with conventional filtering. In addition, the mechanism reduces the interference of RC action with voluntary motion by 20.2% compared with conventional filtering.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
