Implantable Tech that Restores Movement in Paralyzed Patients Available in
  2017
From: Medical Design Technology - 10/15/2015

Case Western Reserve University's Institute for Functional Restoration (IFR)
and Synapse Biomedical Inc. have entered a partnership to commercialize fully
implantable systems that restore muscle function in paralyzed patients.

The technology uses electrical stimulation to activate neural pathways and
create or restore motion. Smaller, more powerful and longer-lasting batteries
and microelectronics now allow surgeons to embed an entire customized system
under the skin. A patient will recharge the battery nightly with a wireless
charger.
