New technology restores movement in limbs of people who suffered strokes
BBC, 21 Feb 2023
Scientists in the US say they have used new technology to restore movement in the arms of two people who had suffered strokes.
A team at the University of Pittsburgh created an electric spinal cord implant that stimulates the nerve endings damaged during a stroke, ultimately enabling people to move.
While more clinical trials are still needed, researchers say the results give a glimpse into the future, where such implants could make meaningful differences to people's lives.
