    Abstract: An apparatus includes an elongate member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The proximal end portion is configured to receive an electrical current from a current source. The elongate member is configured to transmit the electrical current from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion. At least a portion of the elongate member is configured to be disposed within a body of a patient. An electrode is coupled to the distal end portion of the elongate member. The electrode is configured to transmit a portion of the electrical current from the distal end portion of the elongate member to a target bodily tissue. A coating is disposed on at least a portion of the elongate member. The coating is formulated to release at least one of a therapeutic agent, a conductive agent, and/or an insulative agent into the body of the patient.

    CPC classification number: A61N1/057 A61N1/0558

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a coupling portion, a bioerodible anchor portion and a bioerodable retainer. The coupling portion is configured to be coupled to an electrical conductor. The bioerodible retention portion is adjacent to the coupling portion and is moveable from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. The bioerodible retention portion is configured to anchor the electrical conductor with respect to body tissue when the bioerodible retention portion is in its expanded configuration. The bioerodible anchor portion is formulated to erode when disposed within the body tissue at a first rate. The bioerodible retainer is coupled to the bioerodible anchor portion and is configured to inhibit movement of the bioerodible anchor portion from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration. The bioerodible retainer is formulated to erode when disposed within the body tissue at a second rate greater than the first rate.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a power adapter having a housing and a circuit at least partially disposed in the housing. The housing is configured to be coupled to an implantable device for disposition in a body. The circuit is configured to be electrically connected to a power circuit of the implantable device when the housing is coupled to the implantable electrical conductor. When the housing is coupled to the implantable electrical conductor and implanted in a body, the circuit is configured to (1) receive, transcutaneously from a power supply, a first energy, (2) convert the first energy to a second energy, and (3) transfer, to the implantable device, the second energy such that the second energy powers the implantable device.

    Abstract: The embodiments and methods described herein relate to an improved functional electrical stimulation (FES) orthosis. An apparatus can include a frame assembly, an electrode assembly, and an electric stimulator. The frame assembly is removably coupleable to a portion of a limb. The electrode assembly is configured to be in electrical communication with a portion of a neuromuscular system of the limb, and includes first and second sets of electrodes. The electric stimulator is in electrical communication with the electrode assembly. The electric stimulator is configured to send a first signal substantially during a first time period and via a first channel to the first set of electrodes for stimulation of a neuromuscular system of the limb, and is configured to send a second signal, during at least one of the first time period or a subsequent second time period, via a second channel to the second set of electrodes for stimulation of the neuromuscular system of the limb.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a drive mechanism, a patient support mechanism, and an electronic system. The drive mechanism is included in a trolley and is configured to suspend the trolley from a support track. The drive mechanism includes a first sensor configured to sense an operating condition of the drive mechanism. The patient support mechanism couples to the trolley and includes a tether and a second sensor. The tether can be operatively coupled to a patient such that the patient support mechanism supports the patient. The second sensor is configured to sense an operating condition of the patient support mechanism. The electronic system is included in the trolley and has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a gait characteristic of the patient based at least in part on a signal received from the first sensor and a signal received from the second sensor.
