Monitoring nerve signals from sacral roots in pigs using chronically implanted electrodes
Addition of an intrafascicular electrode at the site of application of a multipolar nerve cuff enhances the opportunity for selective fascicular activation
Activation of muscles in the pig forelimb using a large diameter multipolar nerve cuff installed on the radial nerve in the axilla
Selective stimulation of pig radial nerve: comparison of 12-polar and 18-polar cuff electrodes
Aiming at the development of an implantable neuroprosthesis for restoration of hand function in tetraplegic patients (C5/C6), we examined and compared the stimulation performance of two different neural electrode designs. Our studies on the radial nerve of adult pigs proved the feasibility of selective control of different forearm muscles by using only one multichannel nerve cuff electrode. The results gained by applying a 12-polar cuff electrode design were poor, while the potential of an 18-polar design was very encouraging
