Abstract		The poster gives an overview of a complex system designed for functional electrical stimulation (FES) assisted standing experiments. The overall system comprises a personal computer (PC), Optotrak system for non-contact position measuring, two force plates, force-sensor shoe insoles, computer controlled electrical stimulator and mechanical rotating frame (MRF). The software core is based on universal simulation environment Matlab Simulink. When stimulating, the sample times of individual sensor device blocks are synchronized with the stimulation pulses. The system functioning was verified in on-line ankle joint muscle identification trials with intact subject and proved to be accurate and reliable.
