Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies how electrical stimulation and motion measurement can support paralyzed motor function.
AboutAbout the lab
Supporting paralyzed motor function with electrical stimulation and measurement.
The Watanabe Lab conducts research in biomedical engineering that applies functional electrical stimulation (FES) and motion sensing to support patients with motor impairments.
The lab aims to develop technologies that enable motor control and motor relearning in people whose motor function is paralyzed.
It is creating new methods and systems for the reconstruction of motor function, rehabilitation support, everyday healthcare, and improved information accessibility.
The lab is presented on its website under the name “Watanabe Lab.”
Key terms
- Functional electrical stimulation (FES)
- A method that assists movement by applying electrical stimulation to paralyzed muscles or nerves
- Motion sensing
- Measuring body movement with instruments and extracting it as data
- Gait analysis
- A method of measuring human walking motion and examining it quantitatively
ResearchResearch themes
To support patients with motor impairments, the lab studies technologies that use functional electrical stimulation (FES) and motion sensing to achieve control and relearning of paralyzed movement. Its listed research fields are functional electrical stimulation and gait analysis.
