Interfacing peripheral nerve with macro-sieve electrodes following spinal cord injury [PDF]
, 2017 Macro-sieve electrodes were implanted in the sciatic nerve of five adult male Lewis rats following spinal cord injury to assess the ability of the macro-sieve electrode to interface regenerated peripheral nerve fibers post-spinal cord injury. Each spinal

Epidural Stimulation Induced Modulation of Spinal Locomotor Networks in Adult Spinal Rats [PDF]
, 2008 The importance of the in vivo dynamic nature of the circuitries within the spinal cord that generate locomotion is becoming increasingly evident. We examined the characteristics of hindlimb EMG activity evoked in response to epidural stimulation at the ...

A wireless spinal stimulation system for ventral activation of the rat cervical spinal cord
Scientific Reports, 2021 Electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord is gaining traction as a therapy following spinal cord injury; however, it is difficult to target the cervical motor region in a rodent using a non-penetrating stimulus compared with direct placement of ...

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
, 2023 Spinal cord injury is a medically complex and life-disrupting condition, associated with very high mortality rates (early death rates after admission range from 4 to 20%). In addition, it’s complicated subsequent severe disability due to the development of early or late complications.

Intracranial somatosensory responses with direct spinal cord stimulation in anesthetized sheep. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The efficacy of spinal cord stimulators is dependent on the ability of the device to functionally activate targeted structures within the spinal cord, while avoiding activation of near-by non-targeted structures.
