Relevance – Detailed knowledge of distal sciatic nerve anatomy is required to design neural prostheses that: Restore standing balance. Prevent foot drop. Provide active propulsion during ambulation.

Created sciatic nerve fascicle maps from serial sections of each distal terminus below knee through anastomosis of tibial and common fibular nerves above knee.

J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(2):309–22. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2010.10.0201 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD. 2010.10.0201JSP Results Similar branching patterns and fascicle maps were observed across specimens. Fascicules innervating primary plantar flexors, dorsiflexors, invertors, and evertors were distinctly separate and functionally organized in proximal tibial, proximal common fibular, and distal sciatic nerves. – However, fascicles from individual muscles were not apparent at these levels.
