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, ...

Early neuro-physiotherapy is a cornerstone of effective neurological rehabilitation. By addressing impairments early, ...

New research could soon help patients suffering from years of paralysis once again feel the shape of an object. This accomplishment is a massive leap forward for electrical brain stimulation and has ...

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.

A project at MIT has investigated whether optogenetics could be a better way to drive muscle contraction in clinical treatments than traditional electrical stimulation. Published in Science Robotics, ...
