ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling the movement of at least one limb of a person's body includes an interface unit in communication with the person's body for receiving an input signal. A polynomial processor generates a control signal as a polynomial function of the at least one input signal. A generator generates a functional electrical stimulation signal. A plurality of electrodes stimulates the movement of the at least one limb by introducing the functional electrical stimulation signal to the at least one of a plurality of inactive muscles.
