Rehabilitation of high upper limb amputees after Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
2022, Journal of Hand TherapyCitation Excerpt :Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical technique of selective nerve transfers to provide patients suffering from high upper limb amputations with up to six myoelectric signals for intuitive prosthetic control.1,2 During surgery, blindly ending residual nerves, which formerly controlled elbow and hand function, are transferred to specific muscles of the residual limb and trunk that are no longer of functional use.3,4 After nerve regeneration and a period of intense cognitive motor training, the reinnervated muscles serve as biological amplifiers for the neural command to the prosthetic arm.
Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Prosthetic Control
2021, Hand ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, most nerve transfers used in TMR are multifascicular nerves that usually innervate multiple nerves and instead are rerouted to single target muscles. This leads to hyper-reinnervation of the targeted muscle with smaller individually controllable motor units.27–29 This surplus of potential axons for reinnervation and the short axonal regeneration distances for reinnervation are likely the reason for the high success rate of this procedure in terms of reinnervation.
Targeted reinnervation for somatosensory feedback
2021, Somatosensory Feedback for NeuroprostheticsTargeted Muscle Reinnervation and the Volar Forearm Filet Flap for Forequarter Amputation: Description of Operative Technique
2020, Journal of Hand Surgery Global OnlineCitation Excerpt :After forequarter amputation, the resection typically extends through the clavicle, and the brachial plexus is truncated at the level of the trunks or divisions, which then serve as the donor nerves for reinnervation into the more peripheral radial, ulnar, and median nerves of the free flap. A size mismatch is expected, but the large brachial plexus trunks provide hyperinnervation, which promotes target muscle reinnervation.16 The patient is placed in the lateral decubitus position with the arm prepared for surgery and free to allow for manipulation during the forequarter amputation.
