Popis: | FES has been used for over three decades to assist paraplegic patients in walking and for restoring grasp to quadriplegic persons. In 1973 Cooper, Bunch and Campa at the University of Virginia reported on attempts to restore paraplegic ambulation using radio-linked implanted electrodes on the femoral and sciatic nerves of a paraplegic young man. Four radio-linked electrodes were implanted sequentially on the femoral and sciatic nerves of a 19-year-old paraplegic male five to seven months after fxdislocation of Tll-12 with complete spinal cord injury from a fall on May 19, 1972. Chronic electrical nerve stimulation (Neurostimulator, Avery Laboratories, Inc.) was performed with a radio frequency signal of 2.1MHz which was converted by implanted receivers into a biphasic pulse of 0.2 milliseconds duration and 2 volts delivered through bipolar platinum electrodes. |
