Machine learning decodes brain signals for paralysis recovery in just one second using sensors placed on scalp not inside ...

The neural control of rhythmic arm and leg movements encompasses the integration of central and peripheral pathways that coordinate locomotion and complex motor tasks. These processes involve both ...

A system that restores communication between the brain and spine has enabled a man paralyzed by a spinal cord injury to regain near-natural walking ability. Once the patient’s brain activity was ...

An individual may become completely paralyzed because of any number of accidents that interfere with the functioning of the nerves in their body. People who have lost the ability to walk due to spinal ...

People with from spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the ...

Cerebral palsy affects around one in 345 children in the U.S., and more than half of them experience a problem called dystonia - involuntary and often painful muscle contractions, most commonly in the ...

"Smart" prosthetic legs can help amputees achieve a natural walking gait, but it's done through robotic sensors and algorithms that drive the limb forward at predetermined rates. A better way would be ...

Physical therapists reveal the foundational "vital signs" of movement that determine your future independence, mobility, and ...
