摘要
This invention relates to a system and methods for relieving phantomlimb painin amputees, and for providing an amputee with sensory feedback from aprosthetic limb (40). The system employs implantable multichannel, multi-chambered interface structures, namely, nerve cuffs (30). The implanted nervecuffs have electrodes (14) which transmit electrical signals generated by asignal generator (12) to nerves (20), recruiting certain neurons to sendsensory signals to the cerebral cortex, suggesting sensory sensations to theamputee. Such signals can arise directly from the signal generator,approximating the train of signals seen by the cortex in a normally innervatedlimb, or can originate from sensors (50a-c) in a prosthetic limb.
