The effect of direct electrostimulation of the median nerve in a group of tetraplegic patients is described. In all cases there was an increase in the force, and a prolongation of the period of maintenance, of the maximum movement developed by the stimulated muscles. The method was considered to be sufficiently effective to indicate that programmed stimulation by implanted electrodes would permit functional use of the hand.
描述了对一组四肢瘫痪患者进行正中神经直接电刺激的效果。在所有病例中，受刺激肌肉所产生的最大运动的力量增加，且维持时间延长。该方法被认为足够有效，表明通过植入电极进行程控刺激将使手部能够进行功能性使用。
