This paper introduces a system that uses Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for finger flexion control aimed rehabilitation for stroke patients. To address the variability in electrode between patients, Reinforcement Learning is applied together with a switching network that allows automatic electrode selection. This results in an adaptable system that does not require rigorous searching of the patient’s optimal stimulation points. Data that supports the differences in the stimulation location for individuals as well as the ability of the system to converge automatically to a stimulation point is presented.
