The procedure, reinnervation, requires the connecting of existing nerves to the another muscle. ❋ Quizwedge (2009)
The advance is the latest of several recent developments by Dr. Todd Kuiken whose targeted reinnervation TR technique is opening up a wealth of possibilities in the field. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Daniswicz is one of four volunteers in the study trial that set out to determine whether patients would need surgery to implant additional nerve endings - a technique called targeted muscle reinnervation - to control the motorized leg. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Cpl Garthwaite is now hoping to travel to Vienna to undergo a process called targeted nerve reinnervation. ❋ Unknown (2011)

It involves a new technique known as targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), where nerves that once controlled a lost limb are used to control a prosthesis. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Targeted muscle reinnervation allows prosthetic arms to brain's signals ❋ Unknown (2010)
The arm was developed using a new technique known as targeted muscle reinnervation, in which nerves that once controlled a lost limb are used to control a prosthesis. ❋ Helen Pidd (2010)
They found that new axons reinnervated the nucleus gracilis, and boosting the amount of NT-3 increased reinnervation -- to 27% of the innervation present in intact regions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

But she was given new hope after discovering a pio-neering surgical process called "targeted reinnervation". ❋ Unknown (2008)
She volunteered to be fitted with the limb in 2006 after she got frustrated with a standard prosthetic, and thus became the first woman to receive a bionic arm, fitted with a pioneering surgical process called 'targeted reinnervation'. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Sprouting (or collateral innervation) can restore the capacity of voluntary muscle fibres to contract and thus improve clinical strength. 8 There is considerable electrophysiological evidence, including single fibre and macro - electromyography (EMG) and muscle morphological data to support this concept of reinnervation. 16-20 Muscle biopsy studies have shown that the remaining motor neurons may innervate up to eight times or more the normal number of muscle fibres. 21 Survivors of acute polio may be left with a few, significantly enlarged motor units doing the work previously performed by many units. 5 Figure 1 provides a schematic illustration of this process. ❋ Dramitsri1 (2009)
