Patents by Inventor Matthew A. Neimark

Matthew A. Neimark has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Methods for the assessment of neuromuscular function by F-wave latency
    Publication number: 20090030337
    Abstract: Methods are provided for the assessment of neuromuscular function by F-wave latency. Stimuli are applied to a nerve that traverses a wrist or an ankle joint of an individual. Stimulation of the nerve causes a muscle innervated by that nerve to respond, thereby generating a myoelectric potential. One component of the myoelectric potential is the F-wave component. The F-wave latency between application of the stimulus and the detection of the myoelectric potential is used to provide an assessment of a neuromuscular function of the nerve and/or muscle.

  • Apparatus and method for nerve conduction measurements with automatic setting of stimulus intensity
    Patent number: 6266558
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of the invention provide for the measurement of sensory or motor nerve conduction parameters with automatic setting of stimulus intensity. An apparatus of the invention includes a stimulator for stimulating a nerve, a detector for detecting an evoked signal generated by the nerve or a muscle innervated by the nerve, and a controller for determining a stimulus intensity for use in conducting the measurements in response to the stimulation and evoked signal. Methods of the invention include stimulating a nerve, detecting an evoked signal generated by the nerve or by a muscle innervated by the nerve in response to the stimulation, and determining a stimulus intensity for use in conducting sensory or motor nerve conduction in response to the stimulation and evoked signal. In determining the stimulus intensity level, the nerve is stimulated at incrementally increasing stimulus intensities, and the respective evoked signals are detected.
