Motor function rebuilding of limbs based on communication principle and electronic system

In this paper, we report our novel idea on the function rebuilding for hemiplegic limbs and the primary experiments. The main concept is to connect the control-lost nerves or neuromuscular junctions by using a multi-channel micro- electronic neural bridge (MENB), regenerate the nervous signal, and r...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, we report our novel idea on the function rebuilding for hemiplegic limbs and the primary experiments. The main concept is to connect the control-lost nerves or neuromuscular junctions by using a multi-channel micro- electronic neural bridge (MENB), regenerate the nervous signal, and rebuild the motor functions of the related limb. Since the injured nervous system in stroke-related hemiplegia is located in the brain and difficult to be identified and operate on, we use another nervous system functioning as a new signal source to supply similar neural signals. In these cases, that means, two independent nervous systems are connected by a MENB. As preclinical experiments, we have made a series of tests on bodies of animals and healthy human. The principle, the system construction and the experimental results will be given.
