Pre-clinical experiments suggest that electrical stimulation of surviving nerves of the upper spinal cord damaged by severe injury will allow individuals with limited arm function to partially regain ...

A study published in the medical journal Nature on Monday found that targeted electrical pulses delivered to the spinal cord can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. Two patients were ...

Implantation of a brain-computer interface (BCI) into tetraplegic participants allowed for consistent control of a robotic arm and hand for reaching and grasping, according to a study performed at the ...

Most brain-computer interfaces run in only one direction, with a system either picking up on brain activity to tell it how to operate or sending out electrical impulses of its own to smooth out any ...

Harvard researchers have developed a personalized control system for a soft wearable shoulder robot that significantly improves arm mobility in individuals with stroke or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

A new concept construction robot has been developed for disaster relief situations. This robot has a double swing dual arm mechanism and has drastically improved operability and mobility compared to ...

HOUSTON, Texas — An implanted device that stimulates the vagus nerve has shown promising improvement of arm function in stroke patients in a second small clinical study. While the primary endpoint — ...
