Funded under the European Union 5th Framework Programme.

TUBA (Transceiver and inertial Unit for Biomedical Application)

General information

The TUBA (Transceiver and inertial Unit for Biomedical Application) project is funded under the European Union 5th Framework Programme.  FineTech Medical is leading this project to develop and refine the technology of the original implanted foot drop system developed and trialled during the IMPULSE project.  A three year research programme (Jan 2002 - Dec 2004) will develop and test new RF electronic techniques to improve the transmission of power and control signals between the implant and transmitter. Movement sensors will be developed as an alternative to the foot switch. The programme brings together industrial, clinical and research partners from Salisbury District Hospital (UK), Xsens Technologies (NL), European Technology for Business (UK), University of Salford (UK), Roessingh Research and Development (NL) and University College Cork - National University of Ireland “NMRC” (IRL).
