30 children (age range 5–13 years) with TLSCI and 11 typically developing (TD) children (age range 6–12 years) were recruited in this study. Based on whether there is preserved motor function below ...

Ninety percent of paralyzed patients regained strength or function in their upper limbs after receiving an experimental therapy, a new study found. After receiving spinal cord simulation from ONWARD ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

Anderson Cooper: This week on 60 Minutes, we're doing a story about efforts to help people who are paralyzed with severe spinal cord injuries develop the ability to walk again. And not just walk again ...

A recent review published in Engineering explores the construction and potential applications of spinal cord and peripheral nerve organoids for regenerative medicine in neurotrauma. The article, ...

A new study published in the Journal of Neurotrauma demonstrates a strategy for treating a chronic spinal cord injury in rats that led to functional recovery of the paralyzed forelimb and paw and ...

A noninvasive spinal stimulation device safely improves upper-extremity function in people with a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), results of a prospective nonsignificant risk trial suggest. The ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...
