Electrical Stimulation Aids Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/13/2104

When individuals suffer a spinal cord injury, paralysis is only a part of the
major impact on quality of life. Often they also lose bladder control, which
frequently causes infections that can lead to kidney damage. To address this
problem, scientists used their groundbreaking spinal stimulation technology
to enable spinal cord-injured rats to empty their bladders more fully and in
a timelier manner. The promising results achieved in rats represent a
significant step towards deployment of this novel approach in humans with
paraplegia.
