神经刺激技术有望在生物医学领域得到应用。最重要的是，为了恢复瘫痪的功能，研究了功能性电刺激。我们提出了一种新的神经刺激策略并报道了成功的结果。保证神经与刺激器之间的可靠接触是神经刺激必不可少的。然而，传统的刺激器大多是被动结构，因此不容易获得期望的接触。为了解决上述问题，本文提出了一种允许神经与刺激器之间自适应接触的袖带执行器。还介绍了一种可植入装置的试验。
A nerve stimulation technology is expected in the biomedical field. Above all, a functional electrical stimulation is studied in order to recover paralyzed functions. We have proposed a new nerve stimulation strategy and reported successful results. It is indispensable to guarantee a reliable contact between nerves and a stimulator for the nerve stimulation. Most of the conventional stimulators, however, were passive structures, and hence it was not easy to obtain the desired contact. This paper presents a cuff actuator that allows an adaptive contact between nerves and the stimulator in order to solve the above problem. A trial towards an implantable device is also presented.
