Abstract
A system and method for improving limb function through the use of percutaneous mechanical and neural interfaces. The system generally uses a hollow long bone axial rod that is inserted into the long bone medullary cavity. A transfer rod with a central channel is mounted to the long bone axial rod. An exterior body attachment is connected to the transfer rod and attachment rings attach muscle groups, fascia layers and dermal layers to the transfer rod. Additionally, the system is configured to collect and transmit nerve signaling data to an external processor and additionally configured to transmit data from the external processor to the plurality of nerves.
Claims10
A system suitable for attachment of a device in a transverse direction to a bone comprising:
- a central bone implant with a substantially cylindrical hole extending therethrough and configured to embed into a bone;
- a subcutaneous central mount with a central channel extending therethrough and a plurality of locking channels along its interior perimeter;
- a substantially cylindrical stud connector with a plurality of prongs extending outwardly from exterior surface;
- a spring coil, wherein the central mount extends through the cylindrical hole of the central bone implant and is secured into place;
- wherein the stud connector locks into the central mount by inserting the prongs into the locking channels and turning clockwise into a locked position;
- and
- wherein the spring is coiled up and the central mount is pressure loaded into a locked position.
