Background:

Restoring upper limb function after spinal cord injury, particularly tetraplegia, remains a significant challenge.
Neural electrical stimulation offers a potential pathway for functional recovery, but achieving selective control is complex.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel method for selective neural electrical stimulation of the median and radial nerves.
To assess the efficacy of different multipolar cuff electrode configurations for eliciting specific upper limb movements in individuals with tetraplegia.

Main Methods:

Utilized a 12-pole multipolar cuff electrode for selective stimulation of median and radial nerves.
Employed video recording and surface electromyography (EMG) to objectively evaluate muscle activation and movement.
Tested various electrode contact configurations to determine optimal stimulation parameters.

Main Results:

Preliminary results indicate that different electrode configurations yield varying degrees of selectivity in muscle activation.
The study protocol allows for precise assessment of neural stimulation efficacy in acute surgical conditions.

Conclusions:

The developed approach shows promise for selective neural stimulation to restore hand and wrist function in tetraplegia.
Further investigation and presentation of detailed results are warranted to confirm the clinical applicability of this technique.
