Fig 9. Flat and circumferential electrodes provide similar recruitment of rabbit sciatic nerve.

a) Schematic diagram of the experimental setup. b) Schematic diagram of the two cuff electrode designs tested on the rabbit sciatic nerve. c) Force generated as a function of stimulation intensity for flat and circumferential electrodes. Both designs achieve efficient recruitment of the sciatic nerve, consistent with modeling predictions. d-f) Thresholds, saturation current, and dynamic range are similar for each electrode design. Data indicate mean ± SEM, and circles represent individual data.
