The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of a novel muscle The device consists of spatial status detector, integrated attachment scheme under long-term implant conditions. Artificial circuit, three electrodes (one for each semicircular canals) tendons were used in two dogs to secure latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle and external energy source. The spatial status detector is a to the actuator arm of a piston-based hydraulic actuator anchored to th hollow sphere with the volume of one cubic centimeter. chest wall.
