A Multipolar Precision Hybrid Cuff Electrode for FES on Large Peripheral Nerves
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are two different techniques that can be applied for fabricating a nerve cuff electrode: 1. traditionally used silicon rubber tubes or spirals and 2. micromechanical methods. Each technique has its own advantages and restrictions. A hybrid cuff combines desired properties of both: high flexibility, high possible numbers of integrated electrodes, high reproducibility and the ability to embrace nerves even with large diameters.

Fascicle Selective Recording with a Nerve Cuff Electrode
AB STRAC'T A multipolar split cuff electrode is used for fascicle selective recording of the electroneurogram (ENG) of the sciatic nerve of the rabbit. Several electrode configurations were evaluated with regarding to seleclivity: the peroneal and tibial nerves were stimulated alternately and the ENG was recorded at different sides of the sciatic nerve. The results for two electrode configurati...
متن کاملA miniaturized cuff electrode for electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves in the freely moving rat.
A bipolar cuff electrode for electrical stimulation of small diameter peripheral nerves is described. The cuff is made of a highly flexible rubber-impression material, and the electrode assembly is suited for chronic implantation. Its manual construction is easy and reliable, utilizing only simple tools. The cuff completely envelopes nerves of varying diameter and requires a minimal amount of m...
متن کامل18polar Hybrid Cuff Electrodes for Stimulation of Peripheral Nerves
For restoration of neuro-muscular functions in disabled people, cuff type electrodes have been used for several 10 years. A lot of experiences were collected using 12polar electrodes, which consisted of silicone tubes, carrying 4 stimulation tripoles, each tripole orientated longitudinally to the nerve. The tripoles were at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° position around the nerve. It is obvious that t...
متن کاملA Parylene Peripheral Nerve Cuff Electrode with Integrated Microfluidics
We present a novel micromachined polymer peripheral nerve interface that combines both electrodes and microfluidic channels in an adjustable cuff sized to interface with rat sciatic nerve. Parylene fluidic channels enable targeted delivery of lysing agents and neurotrophic factors to fascicle sites on the nerve surface, in order to induce axonal sprouting towards electrodes. This Lyse-andAttrac...
متن کاملApplication of Sensory Nerve Signals in Neural Prosthesis Devices
In this presentation, I will review our experience as to how signals recorded from cutaneous and muscle nerves can be applied to restore foot, hand, and bladder control in subjects with central nervous lesions. Electric stimulation of the peroneal nerve used for correction of gait is used to enhance dorsiflexion in the swing phase of walking in lower extremities of hemiplegic patients. Instead ...
