Neural Interfacing with the Peripheral Nervous System: A FINE Approach

摘要: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can restore neural functions such as volitional motion to patients with neurological injuries or diseases, and effective safe interfaces peripheral nerves are required. Flat interface nerve electrode (FINE) enables the recording of various signals within cuff. The recovery fascicular is still a very challenging problem. localization many pose significant challenge due low signal-to-noise ratio large number fascicles. FINE also allows selective control different muscles at same time. Yet, neuromuscular skeletal systems using multi-contact electrodes remains an unsolved difficult problem complexities channels required activate involved in motion. Using computer models nerve, we have tested ability algorithms dynamics. Computer been used develop new methods recover nerve. Both detection experimentally preliminary results included. goal this review examine possibility detecting use these voluntary stroke, amputation paralysis.
