Functional recovery following motor nerve injury and repair is directly related to the degree of muscle atrophy that takes place during the period of nerve regeneration. The extent of this muscle atrophy is related to a number of factors including the accuracy of nerve repair; the distance through w
This clinical pilot study evolved from a 10-year experience in the experimental laboratory using continuous muscle stimulation in a series of animal studies following nerve injury and microsurgical repair. A completely implantable system was developed (Medtronic) to provide electrical stimulation to
