| Summary: | acknowledged parameter of interest. However, because of the assumptions which idealize the conductive media as being been made to quantify the relevant stimulus parameter. The controlled, providing a stimulation parameter which can be correlated to nerve regeneration. Such a probe will prove current density within the region can be measured and defined region in a chronic regime. From this information, difficulties inherent in measuring these values, researchers field strength or current densities in vivo were based on have previously chosen to characterize stimulus in terms of implantable DC stimulator capable of delivering a constant, in- vivo. This research seeks to evaluate the design of an induced by the applied current is seldom directly measured inhomogenous structures in the region of the nerve are the isotropic. The actual field strength or current density localized electric field strength and current densities nerve has been adequately confirmed, yet few attempts have of applied electrical fields upon nerve regeneration. produced by the injection of electrical current through raw current supplied to nerve injuries. Attempts to quantify region of nerve, and for the purpose of measuring the bulk stable and measurable electrical stimulus across a defined The beneficial effects of chronic DC electrical stimulation tissue resistivity and electrical field strength in the upon peripheral nervous system (PNS) regeneration of injured very useful in ongoing research which evaluates the effects |
