Existing methods of neurorehabilitation include invasive or non-invasive stimulators that are usually simple digital generators with manually set parameters like pulse width, period, burst duration, and frequency stimulation series. An obvious lack adaptation capability stimulators, as well poor biocompatibility high power consumption prosthetic devices, highlights the need for medical usage neuromorphic systems including memristive devices. The latter electrical devices providing a wide range complex synaptic functionality within single element. In this study, we propose schematic capable self-learning according to bio-plausible spike-timing-dependant plasticity organize activity walking pattern generated by central generator.
