Limb function restoration using somatronic device - has microchip which responds to detected movement of sound limb to provide signals for stimulating impaired limb

摘要

The function restoration for an impaired limb, eg. a partially amputated limb uses a somatronic device which detects the muscle activity on the healthy side of the body, and provides electrical pulses used to activate the muscles on the impaired side. Pref., the somatronic device uses a microchip detecting the muscle activity via sensors and providing pulses representing the muscle movement to the nerves on the opposite side, e.g. for providing movement of a prosthesis, replacing an amputated limb. USE - Stimulation after amputation of limb to restore limb function.
