The present invention provides improvements to an implant, system and method using passive electrical conductors which route electrical current to either external or implanted electrical devices, to multiple target body tissues and to selective target body tissues. The passive electrical conductor extends from subcutaneous tissue located below either a surface cathodic electrode or a surface anodic electrode a) to a target tissue to route electrical signals from the target body tissue to devices external to the body; b) to implanted electrical devices to deliver electrical current to such devices, or c) to multiple target body tissues or to selective target body tissues to stimulate the target body tissues. The conductor has specialized ends for achieving such purposes.

A system and method that facilitates stimulating neural pathways, e. g. , muscles and/or associated nerves, of a patient's body for the purpose of therapeutic medical treatment by rehabilitating weakened muscles and using neuroplasticity to retrain sequential muscle movements and/or to provide the ability to directly deliver functional motor movements. Use of the present invention is of particular value for treating a patient following a stroke. More particularly, such systems are characterized by a plurality of discrete devices, preferably battery powered but may alternatively include RF-powered devices as well or in combination, configured for implanting within a patient's body via injection, each device being configured to affect a parameter, e. g. , via nerve and/or muscle stimulation and/or to sense a body parameter, e. g. , temperature, Ocontent, physical position, electrical potential, etc.

A method for treating shoulder subluxation using an implantable device to stimulate the axillary nerve which in turn activates sensory fibers to relieve shoulder pain and activates deltoid muscle to treat disuse atrophy and possibly augment any weakened voluntary movements. Known stimulation devices are either (1) external requiring surface electrodes or (2) implantable located directly into the deltoid muscle allowing stimulation of the proximate motor-points; each requiring relatively large stimulus currents and neither directly dealing with the pain resulting from the shoulder subluxation. In the present invention, a device is implanted via injection or open surgery proximate to the axillary nerve. Advantageously, the nerve branches into portions that stimulate the deltoid muscle and pass sensory signals. By stimulating the axillary nerve (1) a lower stimulus signal level can be used and (2) pain may be blocked while treating the atrophied deltoid muscle and augmenting weakened voluntary movements.

The invention is a hollow tube electrode inserter for inserting an electrode such as a Memberg electrode in living tissue. The inserter has a longitudinal slot that accepts the electrode into the hollow center of the tube inserter. The slot is offset at least once forming one or more retainer tabs that assure retention of the electrode in the inserter during insertion of the electrode in living tissue.

A device configured for implantation beneath a patient's skin for the purpose of tissue, e. g. , nerve or muscle, stimulation and/or parameter monitoring and/or data communication. Devices in accordance with the invention are comprised of a sealed housing, typically having an axial dimension of less than 60 mm and a lateral dimension of less than 6 mm, containing a power source for powering electronic circuitry within. A placement structure is shown for facilitating placement of the implantable device proximate to neural/muscular tissue.

A system and method of treating sleep apnea by providing a first and a second microstimulator proximate to a first and second hypoglossal nerve (HGN) respectively and stimulating the first and second HGN for a first and second predetermined length of time. The first and second predetermined length of time may occur sequentially or concurrently. Moreover, the stimulation of the first and second HGNs may be at a sub-motor threshold afferent stimulation level or at a motor-threshold stimulation level. The stimulation of the first and second HGN may be performed in an open-loop or a closed-loop manner.
