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.

A man who was paralyzed following an extremely severe spinal cord injury has regained the ability to stand and move his limbs independently and without the need for electrical stimulation—much to the ...

Wichita State University's Li Yao is taking a special approach to the study of spinal cord injuries through research that uses an electrical signal to repair tissue damage. Wichita State University's ...

Researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have created a 3D-printed implant designed to deliver electrical stimulation to damaged regions of the spinal cord, offering a promising ...

A series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is bringing the long-elusive goal of spinal cord repair closer to clinical reality.

A research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Department of Materials Science and Engineering has recently developed nanowire-coated fibers for optoelectronic probing of ...

David Mzee became paralyzed after a sports accident in 2010. One of the three patients in the STIMO study, he can now walk with body-weight support for more than one kilometer. [Emmanuel Barraud] More ...
