Future Applications of the TIME

Abstract: The development of TIME electrodes was driven by the goal to investigate the treatment of phantom limb pain in upper limb amputees by selective intraneural stimulation. The vision to interface target nerves close to the end organs or interfere with the autonomous nervous system via the vagus nerve opens many scenarios in which the TIME concept can deliver highly selective nerve interfaces with relatively low degree of invasiveness. Since delivery of sensory feedback by intraneural stimulation was beneficial after amputation of the upper limb, the research question arose whether sensory feedback after lower limb amputation would improve the use of leg prostheses. Experiences made with clinical implants that experience mechanical forces due to limb or muscle movements like cardiac pacemakers and deep brain stimulators indicate the necessity of solvable connections to minimize the invasiveness of the surgical procedure and allow for replacement of implant components in the case of failures
