Fascicular anatomy of human femoral nerve: implications for neural prostheses using nerve cuff electrodes.
Clinical interventions to restore standing or stepping by using nerve cuff stimulation require a detailed knowledge of femoral nerve neuroanatomy. We harvested eight femoral nerves with all distal branches and characterized the branching patterns and diameters. The fascicular representation of each distal nerve was identified and traced proximally to create fascicle maps of the compound femoral...
متن کاملMeasurement of external pressures generated by nerve cuff electrodes.
When external pressures are applied to a peripheral nerve, tissue damage can occur via compression and blood flow occlusion, resulting in degeneration and demyelination of axons. Although many types of nerve electrodes have been designed to avoid or minimize this pressure during stimulation of the nerve or recording of its activity, the measurement of the pressure exerted by these cuffs has not...
متن کاملA flexible method for fabrication of nerve cuff electrodes
Ahstruct A method for construction of cuff electrodes is presented. The method is based on using platinum foil electrodes fixed by rubber bands on a Teflon coated mandrel, that is then dip-coated with silicone. The method allows for design of cuff electrodes of practically any size, shape and electrode configuration, and simple cuffs can be built in less than one hour of work Cuff electrodes ha...
متن کاملNerve Cuff Electrodes for Prosthetic and Research Applications
A new generation of nerve cuffs suitable for stimulation, recording and modulation of nerve activity has been tested in our laboratory and elsewhere. The walls are molded of low-durometer silicone and incorporate flexible electrodes, Teflon-coated stainless steel leads and an interlocking opening/closing system. Stimulation and recording cuffs can be either single-channel or multichannel. Singl...
متن کاملAn Interface for Nerve Recording and Stimulation with Cuff Electrodes
A nerve cuff electrode interface capable of both stimulating and recording from a nerve is described. The interface also rejects the EMG contamination in the recordings using reactive components without adding noise to the ENG signal. A transformer is added to the design for noise matching and the signal-to-noise ratio improvement is evaluated for a specific amplifier INTRODUCTION Electroneurog...
