Targeted muscle reinnervation for real-time myoelectric control of multifunction artificial arms

Proof of concept for multiple nerve transfers to a single target muscle

they put humpty dumpty back together wrong https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2017.00072/full "A 15-year-old boy, with traumatic avulsio n of nerve roots C5–C7 and a non-rupture of C8–T1, was operated 3 weeks after the injury with nerve transfers: (a) terminal part of the accessory nerve to the suprascapular nerve, (b) the second and third intercostal nerves to the axillary nerve, and (c) the fourth to sixth intercostal nerves to the musculocutaneous nerve. A second operation—free contralateral gracilis muscle transfer directly innervated by the phrenic nerve—was done after 2 years due to insufficient recovery of the biceps muscle function. One year later, electromyography showed activation of the biceps muscle essentially with coughing through the intercostal nerves, and of the transferred gracilis muscle by deep breathing through the phrenic nerve."
