Feb. 17, 2011– A new treatment approach which uses tiny bursts of electricity to reawaken paralyzed muscles "significantly" reduced disability and improved grasping in people with incomplete spinal ...

Contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation (CCFES) was associated with greater reduction in upper extremity impairment compared with conventional cyclic neuromuscular electrical ...

Hocoma launches the next generation of its rehabilitation robotic device Erigo®Pro in the U.S. The new ErigoPro further improves mobilization and verticalization of patients with circulatory, ...

New research suggests that paralyzed patients could regain some degree of movement — perhaps even walk again. In a study led by EPFL (Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne) and Lausanne ...

All participants undergo a baseline assessment on day 1; in the EES+PT group, an epidural electrode is implanted on day 2, stimulation programs are initiated on postoperative day 1 and iteratively ...

With a zap of electricity from well-placed electrodes on the back of the neck, patients with tetraplegia can regain some modest yet potentially “life-changing” functioning of their hands and arms, ...

Evolution Devices, a health company focused on digital-physical therapy, has launched EvoWalk. The platform uses artificial intelligence that will give hope to those people who have trouble walking.

Severe skeletal muscle injury, especially volumetric muscle loss, remains difficult to treat because effective regeneration ...

A new study led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that the use of a take-home electrical stimulation device improved muscle perfusion, the rate at which oxygen is delivered to muscles ...

The goal of this study was to assess the effects of transabdominal interferential electrical stimulation (TES) versus sham stimulation in women with functional constipation. In a pilot sham-controlled ...
