Analysis and Design of Antennas for an Implantable Medical Device System for Functional Electrical Stimulation
This paper outlines the results of finite element analyses to study the radiation pattern of an implanted medical device. Also presented are simulation results used to design an electrically small antenna for a portable control unit that communicates with the implants over a 416 MHz to 453 MHz data link. Alfred Mann Foundation's Functional Electrical Battery Powered Micro-Stimulator system (FEB...
متن کاملAn implantable device for stimulation of denervated muscles in rats.
The purposes of the present study were (1) to develop an implantable device capable of being pre-programmed to generate a protocol of chronic contractions in denervated hind-limb muscles of rats, and (2) to verify the design by implanting the stimulators for five weeks in rats to identify a protocol of stimulation that maintains muscle mass and maximum force in stimulated-denervated extensor di...
متن کاملImplantable Tissue Regeneration System Using Electrical Stimulation
We introduce three implantable tissue regeneration systems; an implantable cell graft culture system, an implantable electrical stimulation system for bone regeneration, and a liquid crystal polymer (LCP)based bone regeneration device. These devices allow electrical stimulation to stem cell grafts under in vivo circumstances. After a cell culture using the implantable cell graft culture system,...
متن کاملFunctional electrical stimulation using microstimulators to correct foot drop: a case study.
This paper presents a case study that tested the feasibility and efficacy of using injectable microstimulators (BIONs) in a functional electrical stimulation (FES) device to correct foot drop. Compared with surface stimulation of the common peroneal nerve, stimulation with BIONs provides more selective activation of specific muscles. For example, stimulation of the tibialis anterior (TA) and ex...
