Intraoperative Responses May Predict Chronic Performance of Composite Flat Interface Nerve Electrodes on Human Femoral Nerves

Peripheral nerve cuff electrodes (NCEs) in motor system neuroprostheses can generate strong muscle contractions and enhance surgical efficiency by accessing multiple muscles from a single proximal location. Predicting chronic performance of high contact density NCEs based on intraoperative observations would facilitate implantation at locations that maximize selective recruitment, immediate connection of optimal contacts to implanted pulse...
