OBJECTIVE: To quantify the long-term (>2y) effects of lower extremity (LE) neuroprostheses (NPs) for standing, transfers, stepping, and seated stability after spinal cord injury.
DESIGN: Single-subject design case series with participants acting as their own concurrent controls, including retrospective data review.
SETTING: Hospital-based clinical biomechanics laboratory with experienced (>20y in the field) research biomedical engineers, a physical therapist, and medical monitoring review.
PARTICIPANTS: Long-term (6.2±2.7y) at-home users (N=22; 19 men, 3 women) of implanted NPs for trunk and LE function with chronic (14.4±7.1y) spinal cord injury resulting in full or partial paralysis.
INTERVENTIONS: Technical and clinical performance measurements, along with user satisfaction surveys.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Knee extension moment, maximum standing time, body weight supported by lower extremities, 3 functional standing tasks, 2 satisfaction surveys, NP usage, and stability of implanted components.
RESULTS: Stimulated knee extension strength and functional capabilities were maintained, with 94% of implant recipients reporting being very or moderately satisfied with their system. More than half (60%) of the participants were still using their implanted NPs for exercise and function for >10min/d on nearly half or more of the days monitored; however, maximum standing times and percentage body weight through LEs decreased slightly over the follow-up interval. Stimulus thresholds were uniformly stable. Six-year survival rates for the first-generation implanted pulse generator (IPG) and epimysial electrodes were close to 90%, whereas those for the second-generation IPG along with the intramuscular and nerve cuff electrodes were >98%.
CONCLUSIONS: Objective and subjective measures of the technical and clinical performances of implanted LE NPs generally remained consistent for 22 participants after an average of 6 years of unsupervised use at home. These findings suggest that implanted LE NPs can provide lasting benefits that recipients value.
