The invention relates to an implantable sensor for detecting an electrical excitation of muscle cells, in particular cardiac muscle cells, wherein it is provided that the sensor comprises a dielectric component and a contact point for contacting muscle cells, which is connected to the dielectric component, so that an electric field in the dielectric component, and correspondingly a capacitance of the dielectric component, change with an electrical excitation of the muscle cells. The invention furthermore relates to a system comprising a sensor and an implant.

Automatic electromyography (EMG) electrode selection for robotic devices is disclosed. A plurality of signals from a corresponding plurality of sensors coupled to a skin of a user is received. For each pair of at least some pairs of the plurality of sensors, a sensor pair signature is generated based on differences in signals that are generated by the respective pair of sensors. Each of the sensor pair signatures is compared to a predetermined sensor pair signature to identify a particular pair of sensors. A signal difference between two signals generated by the particular pair of sensors is subsequently utilized to generate a command to drive a motor.

A device that non-invasively detects objects beneath or around the foot or a foot position and transmits signals which are processed and then output via an output device on a skin surface not affected by a neurological deficit, such as the hands or thighs. This device is suitable for subjects with diabetic neuropathy who have lost sensation in their feet and are at risk of punctures, cuts or other physical damage and at risk of sprains, strains or falls due to lack of an ability to detect objects underfoot and foot position.

The invention relates to a system for preventing and/or reducing muscle spasms and improving postural stability in a patient suffering from muscle spasm and postural instability. The system comprises an electrode configured to be positioned to stimulate a target dorsal root ganglion associated with the muscle spasm and postural instability. The system also comprises a pulse generator provided with an output port connectable to the electrode. The pulse generator includes a processor configured to generate an electric stimulation signal at the electrode while connected. Here, the electric stimulation signal stimulates the dorsal root ganglion with an electric pulse while so positioned. Further, the system comprises a user interface configured to set at least one user-specified parameter of the electric pulse.
