Journal ArticleDOI
Atrophy, but not necrosis, in rabbit skeletal muscle denervated for periods up to one year
Zoe Ashley,Hazel Sutherland,Hermann Lanmüller,Michael Russold,Ewald Unger,Manfred Bijak,Winfried Mayr,Simona Boncompagni,Feliciano Protasi,Stanley Salmons,Jonathan C. Jarvis +10 more
TL;DR: The rabbit may be a better choice for a model of the effects of denervation in humans, at least up to 1 yr after lesion, than the rat, because of the lack of evidence of necrotic degeneration or regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multichannel stimulation of phrenic nerves by epineural electrodes. Clinical experience and future developments.
Winfried Mayr,Manfred Bijak,Werner Girsch,Jürgen Holle,Hermann Lanmüller,Herwig Thoma,M. Zrunek +6 more
TL;DR: The authors have developed and tested the first fully implantable device for phrenic pacing that is programmed via bidirectional radio transmission using an IBM compatible computer and features an electronic circuit based on the microcontroller MC68HC705C8.
Journal Article
Useful applications and limits of battery powered implants in functional electrical stimulations.
TL;DR: A battery powered multichannel implant with a sufficient life span for phrenic pacing is developed and the problems during development and the limits of this system are described in this paper.
Journal Article
Computer aided adjustment of the phrenic pacemaker: automatic functions, documentation, and quality control.
Stefan Sauermann,Manfred Bijak,C. Schmutterer,Ewald Unger,Hermann Lanmüller,Winfried Mayr,Herwig Thoma +6 more
TL;DR: A new stimulation and measurement system that shortens the time for measurement and documentation, and the stress on the patient and the risk of error is reduced, and synchronized measurement makes it possible to use single stimulation pulses instead of bursts and ramps to reduce diaphragm fatigue.
Journal ArticleDOI
FES in Europe and beyond: Current Translational Research
TL;DR: Results of FES current research activities are discussed, in particular those presented at 2016 Meetings, which clearly show that FES research in Europe and beyond is alive and promisses translation of results into clinical management of a very large population of persons with deficiencies.
