Abstract :
The authors describe some of the current neural prostheses and examine technological developments needed for future generations of neural prosthetic implants. Current developments include the peroneal nerve stimulator, upper and lower extremity functional neuromuscular stimulation and the auditory prosthesis. Three issues connected with future developments include stimulating and recording electrodes, the interconnection system, encapsulation, the command unit, force, touch, and position sensors, and signal conditioning
