Background:

Selective activation of specific nerve axons is crucial for targeted muscular function in functional electrical stimulation (FES).
Achieving spatial selectivity, activating a specific fascicle without recruiting adjacent ones, is a key challenge in FES.
Multicontact cuff electrodes are employed to distribute stimulation current for spatial selectivity, but parameter optimization is complex.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computationally effective scheme for simulating the electrode-nerve interface.
To create a toolchain for optimizing multicontact cuff electrode configurations.
To identify optimal current spread patterns for achieving high spatial selectivity in FES.

Main Methods:

Development of a computation-effective simulation scheme for the electrode-nerve interface.
Implementation of an associated toolchain for parameter exploration and optimization.
Numerical simulation of current distribution across multicontact cuff electrodes.

Main Results:

The proposed scheme provides an effective way to simulate electrode-nerve interactions.
The toolchain facilitates the identification of electrode configurations for enhanced spatial selectivity.
Demonstrated capability to find optimal current spread for targeted fascicle activation.

Conclusions:

A computationally efficient simulation approach and toolchain have been developed for FES electrode optimization.
This work enables the optimization of multicontact cuff electrodes to achieve precise spatial selectivity.
The findings contribute to the advancement of targeted functional electrical stimulation for improved therapeutic outcomes.
