Abstract

An implantable electrode leadwire used to provide limb function for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) is evaluated in a series of growing dogs to determine whether it could maintain its performance in the presence of growth. For the implantable leadwire, excess lead placed in the subcutaneous space can unwind on demand with limb growth such that an electrode will remain in position and provide a stable motor response.
