Abstract:
The design of an implantable neuromuscular stimulator represents a trade-off in which the desire to maximise functionality and operational life competes with the need for the implanted device to be small, reliable, safe, and easy to use. In this introduction and overview we consider the basic problems and the different approaches to their solution.
