Nerve Stimulation Study May Offer Hope for Patients with Paralysis
From: Rehab Management - 10/28/2016

A study published recently in Frontiers in Neuroscience looks at the use of
implanted electrodes to deliver electrical stimulation to nerves that control
limb movement.

Results from the study suggest that someday, a paralyzed patient could be
equipped with a wearable, smartphone-sized control box that would deliver
impulses to implanted electrodes in his or her peripheral nervous system,
thus enabling at least some level of movement, according to a media release
from Oregon State University.
