IMPULSE (E!2526) - Key Facts
|
|
|
| Overall objectives: |
- The project aimed to address research and development issues surrounding the novel, 2-channel, implantable stimulator developed within IMPULSE (M181) to enhance locomotion in patients with a dropped foot. More specifically the project aimed to address the following areas:
- Development and implementation of a miniature inertial sensor-based system to automatically control the stimulation levels.
- Investigate how to maximise the effectiveness of stimulation.
- Demonstrate the benefits of the new implantable device by means of a centrally co-ordinated multi-centre clinical evaluation.
- Investigate the user needs and patient selection issues to gain a better understanding of the benefits of the device in a broader context.
|
| Our objectives: |
- Better understand users' needs.
- Gain additional clinical effectiveness data to reinforce the results from the trials within IMPULSE (M181).
|
| Our achievements: |
- Better understanding of drop foot patients' requirements.
- Gained additional clinical effectiveness data to reinforce the results from the trials within IMPULSE (M181).
|
| Project information: |
- MedLINK (M181) project.
- 7 partners, including 4 SMEs, from The Netherlands and UK.
- €1.66 million project fund.
- Duration: 42 months.
