Slanted electrode implant restores movement to paralyzed limbs
November 24, 2016 /
Once the realm of science fiction, the ability to restablish a link between the brain and the limbs after it’s been severed as a result of spinal cord injury is slowly becoming a reality. Now a team of researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) is working on a way to restore movement to paralyzed patients by means of tiny arrays of implantable electrodes. The team has demonstrated the electrodes’ potential in a cat, which provides hope not only for those with spinal cord injuries, but also people with prosthetic limbs.
