Long-term functionality of a soft electrode array for epidural spinal cord stimulation in a minipig model
Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Marco Capogrosso, Nicolas Vachicouras, Giuseppe Schiavone, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Florian Dylan Fallegger, Beatrice Barra, Xiaoyang Kang
Long-term biointegration of man-made neural interfaces is influenced by the mechanical properties of the implant materials. Substantial experimental work currently aims at replacing conventional hard implant materials with soft alternatives that can favour ...
IEEE2018Neuroprosthetics to support impaired hand functions: A multidisciplinary approach combining brain-machine interfaces and wearable exoskeletons
Neuroprosthetics, the discipline that aims at interfacing neural systems to artificially engineered devices, has witnessed in recent years important advancements towards the ultimate goal of augmenting and restoring human functions through technology and a ...
EPFL2018Modular exoskeleton for example for spinal cord injured patients
Mohamed Bouri, Tristan Hubert Vouga, Paul Bertusi
The invention concerns an exoskeleton made of elements combined or attached together, said elements being adjustable or not and said elements being made in a sandwich construction. The invention also concerns a method to manufacture such an exoskeleton. ...
2018Electrical spinal cord stimulation must preserve proprioception to enable locomotion in humans with spinal cord injury
Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Marco Capogrosso, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, Emanuele Formento, Karen Minassian, Andreas Rowald, Camille Georgette Marie Le Goff-Mignardot
Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord restores locomotion in animal models of spinal cord injury but is less effective in humans. Here we hypothesized that this interspecies discrepancy is due to interference between EES and propriocepti ...
2018Novel Concept Enabling an Old Idea: A Flexible Electrode Array to Treat Neurogenic Erectile Dysfunction
Introduction: Many studies have shown that electrostimulation of the cavernosal nerve can induce and maintain penile erection. Based on these discoveries, neurostimulation to activate the erectile response has been considered a potential solution to treat ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2018Required growth facilitators propel axon regeneration across complete spinal cord injury
Grégoire Courtine, Mark Andrew Anderson, Nicholas David James, Cheng Wang, Sabry Leonardo Barlatey, Michael V. Sofroniew, Zhigang He
Transected axons fail to regrow across anatomically complete spinal cord injuries (SCI) in adults. Diverse molecules can partially facilitate or attenuate axon growth during development or after injury1,2,3, but efficient reversal of this regrowth failure ...
2018mano: A Wearable Hand Exoskeleton for Activities of Daily Living and Neurorehabilitation
José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Luca Randazzo, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Serafeim Perdikis
Hand sensorimotor impairments are among the most common consequences of injuries affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems, leading to a drastic reduction in the quality of life for affected individuals. Combining wearable robotic exoskeletons a ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2018Two-phase calibration of a neuroprosthetic system
Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Tomislav Milekovic, Marco Capogrosso, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jérôme Gandar
Methods and systems are provided for triggering electrical stimulation of a spinal cord during execution of a motor event. In one example, a method comprises monitoring motor cortex activity while execution of a desired motor movement is attempted during a ...
2018Reading from the Black Box: What Sensors Tell Us about Resting and Recovery after Real-World Falls
Lying on the floor for a long time after falls, regardless of whether an injury results, remains an unsolved health care problem. In order to develop efficient and acceptable fall detection and reaction approaches, it is relevant to improve the understandi ...
2018Central nervous system microbleeds in the acute phase are associated with structural integrity by DTI one year after mild traumatic brain injury: A longitudinal study
Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci, Pietro Bontempi
Introduction: Several imaging modalities are under investigation to unravel the pathophysiological mystery of delayed performance deficits in patients after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Although both imaging and neuropsychological studies have been ...
