title: Chronic cuff electrode recordings from walking Göttingen mini-pigs.
abstract: We present data from cuff electrode recordings from a mixed sensory-/motor nerve as expressed during walking in chronically implanted Göttingen mini-pigs. Our results show that it is possible to filter out residual electromyographic interference and that the energy content of the resulting electroneurographic (ENG) signals modulate clearly with gait. The approach may be used to detect heel strike from cuff electrode measurements to control the timing of stimulation in implantable foot drop correction systems.
