Abstract of the Disclosure A system for stimulating a grasping action by a paralyzed hand. The system includes a sensor arrangement for detecting movement of a shoulder by the paralyzed person. The sensor transmits shoulder movement signals to a computerized controller which generates stimulation signals for stimulation electrodes mounted within a cuff worn about the forearm which supports the hand to De stimulated. Closed loop control is accomplished by use of a glove to which are attached a length sensor and a pressure sensor connected for alternative slection. Stimulation of deeply buried muscles is accomplished by arranging the stimulation electrodes into side-by-side electrode sets which are so positioned as to produce focusing of stimulation energy at the location of the subject muscle.
