Check Eligibility →Description
The purpose of this research study is to examine the feasibility of a system that involves implanting small electrodes in the parts of the brain that control movement and sensation, and combining that with electrodes in the upper arm and shoulder to activate paralyzed muscles of the arm and hand. This system is intended for people with extensive paralysis in their arms. The small electrodes in the brain will be used to attempt to measure intended movements, and the muscles in the arm and hand will be stimulated to attempt to follow those intentions. The study is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, exploratory safety/feasibility trial of up to 12 subjects. The Primary Endpoint will be evaluation over the first 13 months after implantation, after which the subjects will have the option of removal of the device or continued participation in a long-term study.
Interventions
-
BCI and FES
(Device)
The intervention consists of surgical implantation of the device components, BCI and FES that will interface with computers that process and decode neural information, compute stimulation parameters, and control communication between the device components. The device will be tested during research sessions spanning a 13-month period.
