Abstract: The present invention provides a single surgical method, procedure and/or system that creates open visual and physical access to an identified spinal treatment site that initially comprises spinal levels to be treated, wherein the spinal levels comprise at least one dorsal root ganglion. A spinal treatment procedure is performed generally in combination with implantation of a neuromodulation system that may comprise placement of electrical lead(s) on the at least one dorsal root ganglion, wherein each lead is in operative connection with a pulse generator that may also be implanted during the surgical method. Electrical stimulation may be generated with the pulse generator through the electrical leads to the at least one dorsal root ganglion during and/or after the closure of the identified spinal treatment site.

A spinal treatment procedure may be performed generally in combination with implantation of a neuromodulation system that may comprise placement of electrical lead(s) on the at least one dorsal root ganglion, wherein each lead is in operative connection with a pulse generator that may also be implanted during the surgical method. Electrical stimulation may be generated with the pulse generator through the electrical leads to the at least one dorsal root ganglion during and/or after the closure of the identified spinal treatment site.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for predicting and constraining kinematic trajectories of an object within an environment. In one embodiment, the system obtains sensor data from one or more sensor data streams; predicts, via an inertial tracking model, a trajectory of an object in an environment in a continuous fashion using the sensor data; retrieves environmental data consisting of a number of environmental constraints relating to the environment; generating, via a reinforcement learning (RL) agent, a number of corrections to the trajectory of the object based on the environmental constraints within the environmental data; and provides real-time tracking and navigation of the object in the environment based on the continuously predicted trajectory and the corrections to the predicted trajectory.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for implanting neuromodulation systems and, in some cases, spinal fixation systems using a single surgical incision and placing the system components with direct visual and physical access through an open access. Implantable pulse generators of the neuromodulation systems include lead receptacles and, in some cases, the leads may bifurcate into two leads at a proximal side of the leads. Anchors are provided that are capable of anchoring a body of a neuromodulation lead to the rod of a spinal fixation system and/or engaging bone.
