Resumo

In the last few years, several studies have been carried out showing that Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) produce good therapeutic results in patients with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). This paper presents the proposal of a fine-tuning method based on an Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) to a continuous and robust control technique for uncertain nonlinear systems named Robust Integral of the Sign of the Error (RISE), for knee joint control. Simulation results are provided for three paraplegic and one healthy identified patients on ideal and nonideal conditions. Although in the literature this controller presents good results without any fine tuning method, we provide an approach to improve it, even more, believing on the minimization of fatigue and other problems that often occurs in SCI patients treated with FES/NMES, by selecting adequately the gain parameters of the RISE controller.
