Abstract
Disclosed embodiments are directed to promoting nerve growth through one or more mechanisms using an apparatus to rapidly change magnetic fields.
Claims24
A method of guiding growth of at least one nerve in a body part, the method comprising:
- sequentially moving at least one particle in order to direct said growth,
- wherein motion of the at least one particle is caused by application of magnetic gradients.
An apparatus for guiding growth of at least one nerve in a body part, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one coil;
- and
- a control unit,
- wherein the at least one coil is under the control of the control unit to generate and transmit radio frequency energy into the body part to sequentially move at least one particle in order to direct said growth, and
- wherein motion of the at least one particle is caused by application of magnetic gradients.
