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.

The application of electric and electromagnetic fields to aid in soft tissue and fracture healing arose from the initial observations of Yasuda, Bassett and Becker, which showed that bone tissue ...

Five men with complete motor paralysis were able to voluntarily generate step-like movements thanks to a new strategy that non-invasively delivers electrical stimulation to their spinal cords, ...

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.

After I recently had spinal fusion surgery (L-3, -4 and -5), an Orthofix spinal fusion stimulator was prescribed to promote bone growth by means of low-level magnetic pulses as described at; Any idea ...

Five men with complete motor paralysis have regained the ability to move their legs voluntarily and produce step-like movements after being treated with a non-invasive form of spinal cord stimulation.

In addition to stimulation, the men received several minutes of conditioning each session, during which their legs were moved manually for them in a step-like pattern. The goal of the conditioning was ...
