Abstract
Prior work has shown that patient-specific computational modeling and optimization of epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spine can be used to rapidly restore locomotion in paraplegics [1]. To this end, Rowald et al. describe a pipeline for generating detailed spine models from medical imaging data. For a given model, electromagnetic field distributions are calculated for the activation of each electrode contact and coupled to electrophysiological simulations of axon populations within each root and rootlet. Optimal exposure conditions for the safe and selective activation of target roots may thus be identified.
