We describe a computerized experimental system to investigate the effect of early electrical stimulation of the bladder during the spinal shock phase in paraplegic dogs. This system is composed of two main devices: an external part (or controller) based on a portable microcomputer, and a versatile implant (internal) based on a multichannel CMOS microstimulator. Using a new operative technique, this system enabled us to obtain many favorable results.
