Implementation Of Novel Group Delay Decomposition Method And Surgical Protocol For Assessing Peripheral Neuropathy, Sammy Paul Nicolas California Polytechnic State University

Implementation Of Novel Group Delay Decomposition Method And Surgical Protocol For Assessing Peripheral Neuropathy, Sammy Paul Nicolas

Master's Theses and Project Reports

This paper outlines a surgical procedure for exposing and stimulating the sciatic nerve of an anesthetized rodent for purposes of obtaining conduction velocity readings. The ability to accurately quantify nerve conduction velocity has potential for use in the field of diagnostic medicine and disease characterization. An accurate reading depends on both the surgical method used to expose the desired nerve without imposing onto it any physical trauma as well as the stimulation protocol used to initiate action potentials. This paper contains the specific steps required to set up the necessary hardware and software for electrical stimulation as well as a ...

Electrical Stimulation Of Denervated Muscle, Michael P. Willand

Open Access Dissertations and Theses

Functional recovery following peripheral nerve injuries is poor due to muscle atrophy and fibrosis being major contributing factors. Electrical muscle stimulation has been used for decades in some capacity to treat denervation related muscular changes. The research presented in this thesis explores a new stimulation paradigm and its effects on short and long term muscle denervation.

The first part of this work describes the new stimulation paradigm and the design and development of the stimulator used to deliver this paradigm. The paradigm involved daily 1-hour stimulation sessions featuring 600 contractions at high stimulus frequencies (100 Hz) and low pulse durations ...
