Custom-fit radiolucent cranial implants for neurophysiological recording and stimulation.
BACKGROUND Recording and manipulating neural activity in awake behaving animal models requires long-term implantation of cranial implants that must address a variety of design considerations, which include preventing infection, minimizing tissue damage, mechanical strength of the implant, and MRI compatibility. NEW METHOD Here we address these issues by designing legless, custom-fit cranial i...
متن کاملSurgical pitfalls with custom-made porous hydroxyapatite cranial implants
Aim: Cranioplasty implants are used primarily in cases of surgical cranial decompression following pathological elevations of intracranial pressure. Available bone substitutes include porous hydroxyapatite (HA) and polymethylmethacrylate. Whichever material is used, however, prosthetic cranial implants are susceptible to intraand postsurgical complications and even failure. The aim of this stud...
متن کاملCustom-fit versus premanufactured braces.
Custom-made and off-the-shelf functional knee orthoses from four manufacturers were evaluated. Anterior tibial translation testing was performed using a pneumatic mechanical surrogated knee. The mechanical surrogate was interfaced with a servohydraulic materials testing system, which applied all anterior/posterior displacements to an ultimate anterior load of 400 N. Comparison of the individual...
متن کاملDevelopment of a custom-fit mouthstick appliance.
Quadriplegics rely on mouth-controlled devices to perform a variety of tasks and to establish some degree of self-sufficiency. The most functional mouthstick appliances have custom-fitted mouthpieces which are fabricated by dental professionals, and in some cases are cost-prohibitive. An inexpensive lightweight mouthstick which incorporates a new thermoplastic mouthpiece and can be custom-fitte...
متن کاملReconfigurable Streaming Kernels for Multichannel Neurophysiological Recording Systems
Brain-machine interface (BMI) technology [1] offers an exciting means to study and to communicate with the complex brain. Neural activities can be observed or recorded through a range of neurophysiological measuring techniques and apparatus, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG) and multi-electrode arrays. These neurophysiological measuring systems a...
