An implantable electrical stimulator used for peripheral nerve rehabilitation in rats
This study evaluated an implantable electrical stimulator using a sciatic nerve injury animal model, and ethological, electrophysiological and histological assessments. Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the study, and were subjected to crushing of the right sciatic nerve with a micro-vessel clamp. Electrical stimulators were implanted in twenty of the rats (the implantation group), while t...
متن کاملDesign of a Implantable Selective Nerve Stimulator
At University College London implantable stimulators suitable for the selective stimulation of nerve are being developed. We hope these devices will be capable of selectively stimulating either by fibre position, fibre size or to launch action potentials in one direction only, using nerve cuff electrodes. These methods of selective stimulation have been demonstrated by many workers; early paper...
متن کاملNerve stimulators used for peripheral nerve blocks vary in their electrical characteristics.
BACKGROUND Nerve stimulation with a low-intensity electrical current has become a vital part of the performance of peripheral nerve blockade. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and characteristics of peripheral nerve stimulators used in clinical practice in the United States. METHODS Fifteen peripheral nerve stimulators were fitted with fresh batteries and set to deliver cu...
متن کاملAn Implantable Foot Drop Stimulator
A novel partially implantable system for correction of foot drop has been developed and is being tested in three volunteer subjects. The system consists of a two-channel implantable stimulator, a multi-polar nerve cuff electrode implanted on the peroneal nerve proximal to the knee, and an external system including battery, control and telemetry unit and a heel switch. Although the work is still...
متن کاملUse of the peripheral nerve stimulator.
The author discusses various procedures for assessing the patient's degree of muscle relaxation utilizing a peripheral nerve stimulator. Based on clinical observation, a preferred method is offered. To obtain the relaxation necessary for certain surgical procedures, the usual technique is to administer a pre-calculated dose of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant. The most common method to calculat...
