Figure Lengend Snippet: Urodynamic measurements of bladder responses to microstimulation illustrating: (A) stability over 166 d post-implantation, and (B) recovery of bladder control over 58 d after low-thoracic SCT. Abbreviations: dpi—day post-implantation; dpt—day post-transection. The pink bar indicates the duration of stimulation and the number inside the bar indicates the stimulated electrode site.
Article Snippet: Prior to surgery, the array and some surgical and testing tools (custom insertion tool [ ] with hex wrenches, cable for perigenital stimulation, ball electrode for recording of evoked potentials, and a connector cable for pressure transducer and a bladder catheter for urodynamics) were sterilized in ethylene oxide for 24 h using a room-temperature system (Anprolene AN74i, Andersen Products, Haw River, NC).
Techniques: Control
