Possible examples of modules built on MUNDUS platform, along with the corresponding sketch of the user condition. Red body districts are impaired, while green ones are still working.

SITUATION 1:
The person has some residual control of the muscles of the arm and of the hand but the voluntary contraction is not sufficiently strong. MUNDUS biomimetic NMES and exo are used to increase the force and assure task accomplishment. Control of NMES is proportional to the voluntary residual contraction. |
 |
 |
SITUATION 2:
The person does not have any residual muscular activity on the upper limb. Trigger of the movement intention and end point positioning is controlled by head/gaze rotation. In addition RFID allows the recognition of objects, to drive grasping. |
 |
 |
SITUATION 3:
The person has no more control of any muscles, and only limited gaze exists, albeit sight is preserved, so that brain signals are used to control the movement task. MUNDUS will control the hand position along a pre-defined trajectory thanks to BCI signals and RFID will be used to recognize objects and drive grasping. |
