¡¡¡¡“A new generation human-machine interactive system for stable identification of someone’s intention” developed by Prof. Duan Feng recently obtained the first prize of invention project in the first China’s Tianjin Technology Pioneering Competition, which would be widely used for medical rehabilitation field to bring good news for patients.

¡¡¡¡ Prof. Duan Feng introduced that distinct superficial electromyographic signals could be recognized to control the corresponding motion of machine while people moved limbs. This technique could control electronic or mechanical equipments with a piece of tiny chip adhered to the skin, which not only could allow the disabled easily to write or catch something with their prosthetic limbs and hemiplegic patients to recover to walk in a normal way accompanied by gradual eliminated side-effects, but also can be used to develop more intelligent walking assistant machine for the elderly. At present, some medical devices using this technology including electrical stimulation foot droop therapy machine, electromyographic artificial hand, walking assistant machine for the elderly have entered clinical trials and product authentication stage.
