Abstract
A spinal sensing and stimulating device is described. The spinal sensing and stimulating device includes an electrode array, supported by a substrate. The spinal sensing and stimulating device further includes a data processing unit configured to digitize a neural signal detected from a medullary/spinal cord implant of a patient through the electrode array.
Claims13
A spinal sensing and stimulating device, comprising:
- an electrode array, supported by a substrate;
- and
- a data processing unit configured to digitize a neural signal detected from a medullary/spinal cord implant of a patient through the electrode array.
A method for bladder control, the method comprising:
- harvesting power from one or more channels of a sacral anterior root stimulator (SARS) external unit;
- sensing a pressure/volume of a bladder using a bladder volume (B/V) sensor;
- performing intraspinal stimulation using a SARS internal unit;
- receive information from an intraspinal sensing chip;
- and
- transmit a 1-bit sensory signals to trigger the SARS internal unit to activate stimulating leads that contact a sacral nerve and deliver voltage controlled biphasic pulses to trigger contraction of the bladder.
