Abstract
This paper describes the performance of a 16-channel implanted neuroprosthesis for standing and transfers after spinal cord injury including four-contact nerve-cuff electrodes stimulating the femoral nerve for knee extension. Responses of the nerve-cuffs were stable and standing times increased by 600% over time-matched values with a similar eight-channel neuroprosthesis utilizing muscle-based electrodes on vastus lateralis for knee extension.
