Introduction

Bone-anchored devices have been used as skin-crossing conduits to record neuromuscular signals in sedated animals. Long-term recordings from cognisant subjects must be assessed. Hypothesis A bone-anchored device is suitable as a conduit for epimysial EMG (Electromyogram) recordings and is reliable in the long-term.

Methods

The bone-anchored device was implanted into the medial aspect of an ovine tibia (n=1), and the epimysial electrode was sutured onto the peroneus tertius muscle. Epimysial and Surface EMG signals were recorded for 12 weeks.
