Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a muscle control device and an operation method thereof. The muscle control device, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises: an EMG electrode unit including a plurality of electrodes, and sensing an electromyography (EMG) signal; an EMG circuit unit generating channel data based on electrode signals received from the EMG electrode unit; a control unit receiving the channel data from the EMG circuit unit, extracting a voluntary muscle activation signal based on the channel data, and determining functional electrical stimulation (FES) variables based on the voluntary muscle activation signal; an FES electrode unit outputting a functional electrode stimulation based on the FES stimulation variables; and an FES circuit unit receiving the FES stimulation variables from the control unit, generating functional electrical stimulation based on the FES stimulation variables, and transmitting the functional electrical stimulation to the FES electrode unit. Based on the voluntary muscle activation signal, the control unit detects the direction and intensity of motion from the voluntary muscle activation signal and adjusts the strength of the functional electrical stimulation. 본 개시의 실시 예에 따른 근육 제어 장치는 복수의 전극들을 포함하고, EMG(Electromyography) 신호를 감지하는 EMG 전극부, EMG 전극부로부터 수신한 전극 신호들을 기반으로 채널 데이터를 생성하는 EMG 회로부, EMG 회로부로부터 채널 데이터를 수신하고, 채널 데이터를 기반으로 자발근활성 신호를 추출하고, 자발근활성 신호를 기반으로 FES(Functional Electrical Stimulation) 자극 변수들을 결정하는 제어부, 및 FES 자극 변수들을 기반으로 기능적 전기적 자극을 출력하는 FES 전극부, 및 및 제어부로부터 FES 자극 변수들을 수신하고, FES 자극 변수들을 기반으로, 기능적 전기적 자극을 생성하고, 기능적 전기적 자극을 FES 전극부로 전송하는 FES 회로부를 포함하고, 제어부는 자발근활성 신호를 기반으로 자발근활성 신호로부터 동작의 방향과 세기를 파악하고 기능적 전기적 자극의 세기를 조절한다.
