[Review on the progress of peripheral nervous microelectrode].
OBJECTIVE
To review the progress and application of peripheral nervous microelectrode.


METHODS
The recent articles on peripheral nervous microelectrode were extensively reviewed. The classification, the progress of the peripheral nervous microelectrode and its utilizable prospect in the control of electronic prosthesis were summarized.


RESULTS
The microelectrodes had favorable functions of selective stimulation and recording. It provided an information transmitting interface between the electric prosthesis and peripheral nerves.


CONCLUSIONS
Peripheral nervous signal is a feasible signal source to control electronic prosthesis.
