RESTORATION OF THE SENSORIMOTOR FUNCTION USING A NEUROPROSTHETIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61N1/36 A61H3/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely, to a neuromorphic prosthetic system for facilitating the sensorimotor function in persons in need thereof. The system includes multiple stimulators with one or more channels configured so as to be potentially placed on various parts of the body of the patient for electrical stimulation: muscle groups, peripheral nerves, nerve plexuses, and/or the spinal cord. The system also includes multiple sensors configured to detect and transmit data of continuous or cyclic body weight distribution, angular movements of joints, and/or electrophysiological parameters, and multiple controllers configured to receive combined data from the multiple sensors. The controllers are also configured to process and transmit the combined data to an apparatus implementing an MEP-based artificial neural circuit. The apparatus of an artificial neural circuit is configured to implement and recreate the topology of the central pattern generator. The apparatus of an artificial neural circuit is configured to apply a biorealistic neural topology to generate a motor function pattern and coordinates the application of electrical signals through the multiple stimulators to the subject in need thereof, thus implementing the motor function pattern.

EFFECT: possibility of restoring the sensorimotor function in patients.
