Uromodulator:- A device for neuromodulation to restore urinary continence in patients with spinal cord injury.
Uromodulator:- A device for neuromodulation to restore urinary continence in patients with spinal cord injury.
Patients with spinal cord injury often tend to loose control for urinary bladder function leading to urinary incontinence which affects social integration. A novel non-pharmacological, cost effective approach using inhouse developed FES ("Uromodulator") to modulate sacral reflex pathways by stimulating tibial nerve and its branches at the ankle has shown promising results.
Re-Lift:- A device for foot drop correction
Re-Lift:- A device for foot drop correction
Mobility following stroke is a major problem due to weakness of able dorsiflexors leading to foot drop. Conventional management includes ankle supporting devices like Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO). An alternative approach using FES of common peroneal nerve is currently being compared against conventional approaches. The team had designed the intelligent, adaptive, cost-effective user friendly foot lifting device (Re-Lift) which is currently undergoing clinical trial phase to validate its efficacy.
Implantable Device for restoration of bladder function
Implantable Device for restoration of bladder function
Loss of urinary function occurs in the wide diseased condition including Spinal cord injury, meningiomyelocele, geriatric population as well as gynaecological disorders. Currently the team had completed initial phase of animal studies as a proof of concept implantable device to restore bladder function. The systematic model developed as part of the project has enabled the team to device problem based logical approach to address this complex situation. This project was initiated with the support from Department of Biotechnology, Government of India.
