Journal ArticleDOI
High-performance neuroprosthetic control by an individual with tetraplegia
Jennifer L. Collinger,Brian Wodlinger,John E. Downey,Wei Wang,Elizabeth C. Tyler-Kabara,Douglas J. Weber,Angus J. C. McMorland,Meel Velliste,Michael L. Boninger,Andrew B. Schwartz +9 more
TL;DR: With continued development of neuroprosthetic limbs, individuals with long-term paralysis could recover the natural and intuitive command signals for hand placement, orientation, and reaching, allowing them to perform activities of daily living.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracortical microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex
Sharlene N Flesher,Jennifer L. Collinger,Stephen T. Foldes,Stephen T. Foldes,Jeffrey M Weiss,John E. Downey,Elizabeth C. Tyler-Kabara,Sliman J. Bensmaia,Andrew B. Schwartz,Michael L. Boninger,Robert A. Gaunt +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microstimulation within the hand area of the somatosensory cortex of a person with long-term spinal cord injury evokes tactile sensations perceived as originating from locations on the hand and that cortical stimulation sites are organized according to expected somatotopic principles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability and diagnostic accuracy of the clinical examination and patient self-report measures for cervical radiculopathy.
Robert S. Wainner,Julie M. Fritz,James J. Irrgang,Michael L. Boninger,Anthony Delitto,Stephen C. Allison +5 more
TL;DR: Many items of the clinical examination were found to be reliable and to have acceptable diagnostic properties, but the test item cluster identified was more useful for indicating cervical radiculopathy than any single test item.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten-dimensional anthropomorphic arm control in a human brain?machine interface: difficulties, solutions, and limitations
Brian Wodlinger,John E. Downey,Elizabeth C. Tyler-Kabara,Andrew B. Schwartz,Michael L. Boninger,Jennifer L. Collinger +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that individual motor cortical neurons encode many parameters of movement, that object interaction is an important factor when extracting these signals, and that high-dimensional operation of prosthetic devices can be achieved with simple decoding algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Acellular Biologic Scaffold Promotes Skeletal Muscle Formation in Mice and Humans with Volumetric Muscle Loss
Brian M. Sicari,J. Peter Rubin,Christopher L. Dearth,Matthew T. Wolf,Fabrisia Ambrosio,Michael L. Boninger,Neill J. Turner,Douglas J. Weber,Tyler Simpson,Aaron Wyse,Elke H. P. Brown,Jenna L. Dziki,Lee E. Fisher,Spencer A. Brown,Stephen F. Badylak +14 more
TL;DR: This paper showed similarities in the remodeling characteristics of xenogeneic extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds when used as a surgical treatment for volumetric muscle loss in both a preclinical rodent model and five male patients.
