NON-INVASIVE ELECTRODE MATRIX OF SPINAL NEUROPROSTHESIS AND METHOD FOR ITS APPLICATION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61N1/36 A61F2/72 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medicine, namely to a non-invasive electrode matrix for multisegment stimulation of the spinal cord, and the method for its application. The electrode matrix contains a frame with guides (1), two replaceable modules, two bases of replaceable modules. The frame with guides is designed to fit the patient’s back snugly. Telescopic electrode holders for spinal cord stimulation are installed in each of the replaceable modules. In this case, the electrodes are fixed at the ends of the telescopic holders directed to the patient’s back and are removable. The bases of the replaceable modules are made with the possibility of moving along the frame guides and fixing on the frame guides in a given position. Each of the replaceable modules is placed in the corresponding base. One of the telescopic holders (11) is fixed, and the others are movable (12) and have the possibility of longitudinal and vertical movement relative to the replaceable module in which they are installed, so that the electrodes are in contact with the patient’s skin. A non-invasive electrode matrix using percutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is used for the rehabilitation of the patient’s motor functions, for the modulation of the functions of the patient’s internal organs, for the diagnosis of the functional state of the patient's autonomic nervous system, for the relief of spastic syndrome caused by a violation of the segmental apparatus of the spinal cord.

EFFECT: due to the design features of the electrode matrix for percutaneous multisegment stimulating electrical action, it is possible to repeat the individual features of the patient’s back shape during the rehabilitation session, including during movements, as well as to increase the wear resistance of the matrix.
