New research from the University of Sydney reveals surgically implanted spinal cord stimulators—a common treatment for lower back pain which aims to disrupt pain signals traveling to the brain—are ...

A Johns Hopkins materials scientist and a team of collaborators have developed a tiny device that may hold promise for restoring mobility to those with lower limb paralysis, a condition affecting ...

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 ...

Epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord alleviated freezing-of-gait and other postural impairments in a patient with Parkinson’s disease, potentially addressing an unmet need and offering ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, such as following a spinal cord injury, has made great strides in recent years. However, high-frequency stimulation pulses, which are used in many current ...

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 ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them.

A patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) can now walk with a normal gait without balance problems or fear of falling after implantation of a neuroprosthetic device. The neuroprosthesis involves ...

(Nanowerk News) A Johns Hopkins materials scientist and collaborators have developed a tiny device that may hold promise for restoring mobility to those with lower limb paralysis, a condition ...

Scientists have developed an approach that combines rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord stimulation to restore movement in people with spinal cord injuries. The technology enhances rehabilitation ...
