Abstract
A nerve cuff technique is described for selective activation of individual motor fascicles within a multifascicular peripheral nerve trunk. Preliminary results from numerical modeling and experimental testing of the technique are presented. Of the four electrode configurations considered, longitudinal tripolar dots with transverse field steering were most effective in yielding selective activation of the motor axons within a desired superficially placed nerve trunk fascicle.<>
