Materials and technologies for soft implantable neuroprostheses
- Quote: In humans, both the spinal cord and its meningeal protective membranes can experience as much as 10–20% tensile strain and
displacement (relative to the spinal canal) during normal postural movements. This motion corresponds to displacements on the order of centimetres17. The deformations relative to the spinal cord in animal models, such as rodents or non-human primates, are likely to
be even larger.
