Initial Results of the Nucleus FES-22-lmplanted System for Limb Movement in Paraplegia

Abstract
The Nucleus ''FES-22'' channel stimulation system has been developed for partial restoration of lower limb function in paraplegic individuals. One FES-22 stimulator has been implanted in a 25-year-old paraplegic subject in November 1991. Of the twenty 2.5-mm disc electrodes attached epineurally onto motor nerves, fifteen are capable of producing observable threshold and maximal muscle contractions with joint movements.
