Systems and methods for providing orientation data to a user during a medical procedure performed on a subject are provided. The system can include a medical device, an electrical component and a display device. The medical device is configured to engage a portion the subject and includes a handle. The electrical component is disposed within the handle and is configured to generate data related to an orientation of the medical device during the medical procedure. The display device is physically separate from the medical device and in communication the electrical component. The display device also includes a processor configured to receive and process the data related to the orientation of the medical device, and display information related to the orientation of the medical device to the user based on the data.

Systems and methods for advanced medical device placement and usage

Systems and methods for delivering targeted neurostimulation therapies to the nervous system of a subject are provided. A set of electrodes can be strategically distributed around a target nerve, and the nerve can be activated though the electrodes using a channel-hopping interleaved pulse scheduling (CHIPS) stimulation strategy. The systems and methods can leverage the spatiotemporal summation of short, sub-threshold current pulses interleaved across two or more independent stimulation channels (hopping from channel to channel) and delivered across electrodes strategically placed in an interfering configuration around the target neural tissue.

Systems and methods for delivering focalized neurostimulation

Devices, systems, and methods for recording action potential (AP) from a nerve are provided. A device can include a cuff or a microchannel to be used to record an AP from a nerve. A recording electrode can be included within a channel of the cuff or microchannel, and the recording electrode can be offset or off-center such that it is not located mid-channel within the recording cuff or microchannel.

Directional-specific extraneural recording device

Systems and methods for decoding neural and/or electromyographic signals are provided. A system can include at least one single channel decoder. Optionally, the system can include a demixer in operable communication with the single channel decoders. Each single channel decoder can include a filter to attenuate noise and sharpen spikes in the neural and/or electromyographic signals, a detection function to identify spikes, and a demodulator to get a real-time estimate of motor intent.

Systems and methods for decoding intended motor commands from recorded neural signals for the control of external devices or to interact in virtual environments

Systems and methods to simulate activity that would be recorded using an interface to nerve fibers are provided. Signals, such as motor intent signals, can be converted to neural recordings, such as neural recordings by longitudinal intrafascicular electrodes (LIFEs). Spinal cord motor pools and neural interfaces can be jointly simulated. Realistic simulated neural recordings, such as from electrodes such as LIFEs, can be provided and can be used for the evaluation of decoding algorithms. Systems and methods described herein provide a framework for developing neural interface devices.

Neural interface activity simulator

A modular multi-channel inline connector system that connects an implanted electrode within a body of an organism, such as the human body, with a device located external to or implanted within the body. The modular multi-channel inline system comprises of a first lead operatively connected to the implanted electrode and to a first connector portion. A second lead is operatively connected to a second connector portion and operatively connected to the device. One of the first and second connector portions comprises a male connector and the other of the first and second connector portions comprises a female connector. The first and second connector portions are arranged to connect with each other and to be operatively located embedded within the body.

Modular multi-channel inline connector system

Techniques, apparatuses, and systems for interfacing multiple sensors with a biological system can include amplifying signals from respective sensors associated with an external device; modulating the amplified signals based on respective different frequency values; and summing the modulated signals to produce an output signal to stimulate a biological system.

Communication interface for sensory stimulation

A device and methods for performing a closed-chain exercise for the lower extremities of a human subject and, in particular, the legs, using stimulation. The device may include a sled for receiving the subject and for translating to and fro between a first, lower position in which the legs are at least partially bent and a second, higher position in which the legs are less bent than in the first position. A stimulator is provided for facilitating the performance of the closed-chain leg exercise by the subject to move the sled between the first and second positions, either by way of electrical signals provided directly to the applicable muscles or by way of sensory (e.g., visual) stimulation, with or without electro-muscular stimulation. In another aspect, adaptive feed-forward control may also be used to enhance the exercise regimen performed using the device.
