From: Forelimb EMG-based trigger to control an electronic spinal bridge to enable hindlimb stepping after a complete spinal cord lesion in rats

Figure 1

Electronic bridge schematic and circuitry. A) Schematic diagram showing the design of the electronic bridge. EMG signals from the right biceps brachii (RBB) and left BB (LBB) are sent to the bridge. Forelimb stepping is detected at the bridge that then generates electrical pulses (40 Hz monopolar) in the lumbosacral spinal cord to generate stepping in the hindlimbs. EMG from the forelimb and hindlimb muscles are amplified and stored using the DAQ. B) Expanded view of the electronic bridge circuitry.
