Patients with severe paralysis regain use of hands

Non-invasive surgical techniques aimed at stimulating the injured spinal cord are showing astounding results. The technique pioneered by Professor Reggie Edgerton is for the first time enabling people with severe paralysis to regain use of their hands. In the UCLA Edgerton…

Soft neural interfaces enable delivery of electrical and chemical stimulation to the spinal cord

New developments in soft neural interfaces are enabling the delivery of electrical and chemical stimulation to the spinal cord. The stimulations restored locomotion in animal models of paralysis. The soft interfaces can be placed either below or above the dura…
