Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Electrical Stimulation and Spinal Cord Injury
Chester Ho,Ronald J. Triolo,Anastasia L. Elias,Kevin L. Kilgore,Anthony F. DiMarco,Kath M. Bogie,Albert H. Vette,Musa L. Audu,Rudi Kobetic,Sarah R. Chang,K. Ming Chan,Sean P. Dukelow,Dennis Bourbeau,Steven W. Brose,Kenneth J. Gustafson,Zelma H.T. Kiss,Vivian K. Mushahwar +16 more
TL;DR: The use of FES for the restoration of muscular and organ functions may significantly decrease the morbidity and mortality following spinal cord injuries as discussed by the authors, and should be considered as part of the lifelong rehabilitation care plan for all eligible persons with SCI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/carbon nanotube neural electrode coatings for stimulation in the dorsal root ganglion.
Christi L. Kolarcik,Kasey Catt,Erika Rost,Ingrid N Albrecht,Dennis Bourbeau,Zhanhong Du,Takashi D. Y. Kozai,Xiliang Luo,Xiliang Luo,Douglas J. Weber,X. Tracy Cui +10 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that coated microelectrodes have lower in vitro and in vivo impedance values and PEDOT/CNT coatings may be valuable additions to implantable electrodes used as therapeutic modalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained growth factor delivery promotes axonal regeneration in long gap peripheral nerve repair.
TL;DR: The results support the use of GDNF for improved functional recovery above negative controls following large axonal defects in the peripheral nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo effects of L1 coating on inflammation and neuronal health at the electrode-tissue interface in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion.
Christi L. Kolarcik,Dennis Bourbeau,Erdrin Azemi,Erika Rost,Li Zhang,Carl F. Lagenaur,Douglas J. Weber,Xinyan Tracy Cui +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that L1-modified electrodes may result in an improved chronic neural interface and will be evaluated in recording and stimulation studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time Classification of Bladder Events for Effective Diagnosis and Treatment of Urinary Incontinence
Robert Karam,Dennis Bourbeau,Steve Majerus,Iryna Makovey,Howard B. Goldman,Margot S. Damaser,Swarup Bhunia +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed context-aware thresholding, a novel, parameterized, user-tunable algorithmic framework capable of real-time classification of bladder events such as detrusor contractions, from single-sensor bladder pressure data.
