Abstract
A wearable, 56-channel stimulator was developed and successfully tested to drive multichannel intrafascicular electrodes. It is able to safely elicit sensory afferent signals through the activation of 4 Time-4H intrafascicular electrodes. The STIMEP embeds not only the pulse generator but also a software that ensures: (i) real time control by a hand-prosthesis, (ii) embedded procedures for sensation mapping interfaced with a PC software, (iii) impedance follow-up, (iv) real-time safety management.
