Abstract
Computer simulations of clinical data were performed to estimate the diameter distribution of Aαβ nerve fibers in the human dorsal columns, activated by spinal cord stimulation. Qualitatively, the calculated distribution was in accordance with experimental data. Due to mismatches in impedance and limited resolution of the CT scans more patient data is needed to reliably predict the quantitative diameter distribution
