    Abstract: A system and related method for characterizing an effect of a rehabilitation therapy on a body. The apparatus includes a first device, which is configured to be coupled to the body at a first location, and a second device, which is configured to be coupled to the body at a second location that is separated from the first location by a distance. The first device is configured to generate a wireless signal. The second device is configured to detect the wireless signal and to generate data based on the detected wireless signal that is configured to be used to calculate the distance. The distance is used to characterize the effect of the rehabilitation therapy on the body.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes implanting an implant entirely under the subject's skin. The implant includes a passive electrical conductor of sufficient length to extend from subcutaneous tissue located below one of a surface cathodic electrode and a surface anodic electrode to the tibial nerve. The surface electrodes are positioned in spaced relationship on the subject's skin, with one of the electrodes positioned over the pick-up end of the electrical conductor such that the portion of the current is transmitted through the conductor to the tibial nerve, and such that the current flows through the tibial nerve and returns to the other of the surface cathodic electrode and the surface anodic electrode. An electrical current is applied between the surface cathodic electrode and the surface anodic electrode to cause the portion of the electrical current to flow through the implant to stimulate the tibial nerve.
