Assistive Devices• Assistive devices are basically

helpful products that improve a person’s ability to function independently.

• They are used by people with disabilities and older adults who want to remain independent as long as possible

What is HAS:

The combination of FES(functional electrical

stimulation) and an externally powered and

controlled brace is called a hybrid assistive system (HAS).

WHAT IS FES:

• FES uses small electrical currents to stimulate the nerves that connect to the paralysed muscles.

• This causes the muscles to contract. FES can be used to stimulate nerves in the arms, legs, trunk and various body parts in order to achieve a range of functional movements.

HOW IT WORKS: BIO-CYBERNIC CONTROL
