In order to solve the problems of insufficient stimulation channels and lack of stimulation effect feedback in the current electrical stimulation system, a functional array electrode electrical stimulation system with surface electromyography (sEMG) feedback was designed in this paper. Firstly, the effectiveness of the system was verified through in vitro and human experiments. Then it was confirmed that there were differences in the number of amperage needed to achieve the same stimulation stage among individuals, and the number of amperage required by men was generally less than that of women. Finally, it was verified that the current required for square wave stimulation was smaller than that for differential wave stimulation if the same stimulation stage was reached. This system combined the array electrode and sEMG feedback to improve the accuracy of electrical stimulation and performed the whole process recording of feedback sEMG signal in the process of electrical stimulation, and the electrical stimulation parameters could change with the change of the sEMG signal. The electrical stimulation system and sEMG feedback worked together to form a closed-loop electrical stimulation working system, so as to improve the efficiency of electrical stimulation rehabilitation treatment. In conclusion, the functional array electrode electrical stimulation system with sEMG feedback developed in this paper has the advantages of simple operation, small size and low power consumption, which lays a foundation for the introduction of electrical stimulation rehabilitation treatment equipment into the family, and also provides certain reference for the development of similar products in the future.
