Functional electrical stimulation (FES), which uses electric current or voltage pulses applying to peripheral nerves or muscles, is a method of restoring or assisting motor functions lost by spinal cord injury or cerebrovascular disease. Although FES can be applied to various functions, FES studies have been heading mainly for restoring or assisting motor function focusing on upper or lower limb control. Many studies on clinical application of FES in controlling upper or lower limbs have found that FES can be effective. However, FES system for practical clinical use has not been realized yet. In this paper, problems on clinical application of FES are discussed, first. Then, our current research topics especially focused on control method of paralyzed motor functions of upper and lower limbs are presented.
