-Ventral roots • Used Medtronic hardware.
-Peripheral nerves
-Epimysial • an implanted bipolar electrode wrapped on the peroneal nerve
-Intramuscular • implanted RF receiver connected to bipolar electrode
-Skin surface • external RF transmitter and power source
• a heel switch worn inside
• Stimulation
Electrodes are the shoe. to correct foot drop
permanently implanted
near, inside, or around
the peroneal nerve to
provide greater
stimulation stability.
• The battery powered
External Unit and Sensor
remain external.
• The External Unit
communicates
transcutaneously via RF to
activate the implanted
peroneal nerve electrodes.
