A Feasibility Study of Robot-Assisted Ankle Training Triggered by Combination of SSVEP Recognition and Motion Characteristics

In order to inspire subjects exerting more energy and pay more attention to SSVEP-based ankle training, this study introduce motion intention detection both in the first half cycle of single trainings and at the beginning of the training. This study also propose a novel method to recognize motion intention of subjects through merging the motion characteristics of the ankle training into the identification of SSVEP signals. Five healthy subjects participate in the training, and all can accomplish the training with the success rate of more than 80%. The proposed hybrid method can increase success rate from 50% to 80% comparing with the identification of SSVEP signals.
