![]() | Horch, Kenneth W. | Control of ankle position using neural feedback | This paper describes a closed loop control system that uses afferent neural activity from muscle spindle fibers as feedback for controlling ankle position. The gastrocnemius muscle was stimulated through a dual channel intrafascicular electrode implanted in a fascicle of the tibial nerve. Dual cha... | Neuromuscular stimulation; Peripheral nerve; Joint angle | 1994 |

![]() | Horch, Kenneth W. | Intrafascicular electrodes for nerve stimulation | We have designed a new type of intrafascicular, implanted electrode for stimulating peripheral nerves to elicit muscle contraction. The electrode requires low current to stimulate the nerve fibers, provides a fine control of muscular force, and causes little or no tissue reaction. it is of potential... | Intrafascicular electrodes; Peripheral nerve; Neural recordings | 1988 |

![]() | Horch, Kenneth W. | Differential activation of nerve fibers with magnetic stimulation in humans | Earlier observations in our lab had indicated that large, time-varying magnetic fields could elicit action potentials that travel in only one direction in at least some of the myelinated axons in peripheral nerves. The objective of this study was to collect quantitative evidence for magnetically in... | Magnetic stimulation; Peripheral nerve; Electromyographic potential; Somatosensory potential | 2006 |
