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 system may include both external and internal components, with an implantable pulse generator sized and configured to be implanted subcutaneously in a tissue region. A lead having a proximal end and a distal end is coupled to the implantable pulse generator and is adapted for implantation in subcutaneous tissue. The distal end of the lead is adapted to be remote from the pulse generator and capable of extending up to an anatomical furthest distance from the pulse generator. The circuitry carried within the case is operable for generating electrical stimulation pulses and capable of electrically driving the generated electrical stimulation pulses from the pulse generator through the lead extending up to the anatomical furthest distance.
