Figure 2From: Biomechanical and functional variation in rat sciatic nerve following cuff electrode implantationImage A (Top Left), photograph with dimensions of cuff used for electrophysiology/biomechanics testing. Dimensions: inner diameter, 2 mm; outer diameter, 4 mm; length, 7.5 mm. Image B (Top Right), simple schematic of positions used to reach maximum and minimum natural nerve elongation. Image C (Bottom), shows mechanical device for maintaining target knee extension angles, the ankle “brace” is for maintaining a constant 90 degree ankle angle.Back to article page
