An implant that delivers electrical stimulation to a select group of spinal neurons can treat dangerously low blood pressure in people with spinal cord injuries, addressing an often "invisible" ...

A motorcycle crash left Michel Roccati with complete lower-body paralysis from a devastating spinal cord injury. That was in 2017. But now, the Italian native is walking again, courtesy of ...

The system uses wireless sensors to detect limb motion and automatically adjust stimulation in real time, allowing for a seamless user experience. In a proof-of-concept study involving five ...

Spinal injuries can dramatically alter lives, confining individuals to physical limitations and impacting their overall well-being. Traditional rehabilitation methods, while helpful, often require ...

Shocking news: A new study finds that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord shows “therapeutic potential” for the treatment of depression. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati explored how ...

An experimental treatment that delivers an electrical current to the spinal cord appeared to notably improve the ability of a man with Parkinson’s to keep his balance and walk without freezing up, a ...

Spinal cord stimulators are electrical devices that are surgically implanted in the body to treat long-term pain. They have a battery pack and leads that deliver electrical impulses directly to the ...

A promising trial of spinal electrical stimulation that instantly boosts movement and dexterity in the arms and hands of stroke survivors has the potential to greatly improve quality of life for those ...

Electrical myostimulation is the use of electric currents to enhance muscle function. This type of therapy is called electrotherapy. It helps to strengthen and stimulate the recovery of muscles after ...

Spinal cord stimulation has restored movement in the partially paralysed arms of three monkeys. Restoring movement in upper limbs is very difficult, says Marco Capogrosso at the University of ...

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering, often leaving individuals with severe mobility impairments. While rehabilitation robotics—devices that guide movement during therapy—have improved training for ...
