Researchers at Brown University have demonstrated that targeted electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore both ...

In new results from a clinical trial, researchers show that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore the muscle control and sensory feedback required for coordinated walking movements.

With a zap of electricity from well-placed electrodes on the back of the neck, patients with tetraplegia can regain some modest yet potentially “life-changing” functioning of their hands and arms, ...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology is a new type of treatment, which is through the simulation of the nerve on the muscle issued by the electrical signals for rehabilitation training.

The FESGlove system integrates a multi-channel stimulator, a human-machine interface, and a wearable glove with embedded silver fiber and hydrogel electrodes. Functional electrical stimulation is ...

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

One participant pointed to her chest. That, she explained, is where she felt her foot hit the treadmill. Not the foot itself, not the ground beneath it, but a sensation somewhere above the injury that ...
