Abstract

See full text

Improved assemblies, systems, and methods provide a stimulation system for prosthetic or therapeutic stimulation of muscles, nerves, or central nervous system tissue, or any combination. The stimulation systems and methods include an implantable pulse generator adapted for wireless telemetry and having a unique signature to enable secure communications. An external controller includes circuitry adapted for wireless telemetry. The secure communications includes at least a first communication from the external controller to the pulse generator. The first communication includes the pulse generator's unique signature. A response communication from the pulse generator to the external controller includes data elements that indicate the response communication is a response, and not a command from an external controller.
