Design and Implementation of a Programmable Electrical Muscle Stimulator (PEMS)

Abstract

“This research designed and constructed a Programmable Electrical Muscle Stimulator (PEMS) using an OLIMEX 328 microcontroller, an EMG shield, and controlled by a Raspberry Pi 4. The basic concept of this research is to measure the ECG and EMG of a patient while muscle stimulation is carried out. The parameters of stimulation pulses will be determined according to the ECG output. Using the Raspberry Pi 4 allows for Bluetooth remote control and programmable parameters of the PEMS device.”
