The FEM analysis of the peroneal nerve stimulation in hemiplegia

We present details of the modeling, design, and evaluation of single-channel implantable system with a half cuff for monopolar selective stimulation of the common peroneal nerve in hemiplegia. For this purpose, an activating and total equivalent driving function for 12 /spl mu/m nerve fibers located at six positions within the nerve were calculated by the finite element method (FEM).
