BIOENGINEERING SYSTEMS FOR HUMAN MOTOR FUNCTIONS CONTROL

Introduction. Movement training is one of the main factors to mobilize person’s reserves for movement restoration

The purpose of the article is to present the results of theoretical and applied researches focused on synthesis of information technologies for human motion control based on bioengineering systems as external control circuits.

Results. The evolution of bioengineering systems for motor control — multichannel electronic devices “Mioton-2”, “Mioton-3M”, “Mioton-604”, “Miokor”, adaptive device “Miostimul” and a new class of portable electronic devices of digital medicine for personal, biologically adequate, motor control “TRENAR®” are considered. Special EMG — signals processing and its transformation into informative visual and sound signals, that describe muscle contractions are used to develop different programms for muscle control. These programs based on different methods of muscle electrical stimulation and biofeedback are aimed on activaton of additional brain reserves to restore motor functions. New method and technology to restore motor speech, based on original technique of fine motor hand training by the technology “Trenar” is described. The results of clinical testing confirmed its effectiveness in motor speech restoration after the stroke.

Conclusion. The main benefits of the technology “Trenar” that leads to the increasing in efficiency of motor and speech rehabilitation are as follows: advanced range of training programs, based on different methods, original techniques of fine motor hand training allows one to select individual approach to rehabilitation process.

Keywords: bioengineering systems, electronic devices, bioelectric control, muscle stimulation, biofeedback, electromyographic signal, rehabilitation, movement, speech, personal approach.
