  • Abstract
    In this paper we describe a novel electrical stimulation approach that can potentially increase the efficiency with which skeletal muscle can be used to provide power for cardiac assistance. Results are presented from acute animal studies in which a nerve cuff electrode array is used to selectively stimulate the three functionally distinct regions of the latissimus dorsi muscle.
