Spinal Cord Stimulation May Restore Movement to Patients With Paraplegia


 

References

At the end of the training, some of the participants were able to execute voluntary movements with greater force and with less stimulation than before, and others had improved movement accuracy. It is unclear whether the improvement resulted from the training or from the cumulative effects of stimulation over time, said the authors, who plan to address this question in their next study.
