Summary

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) via the MyndMove device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a non-invasive way to help people with spinal cord or nerve injuries regain arm and hand function.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is short-term and may not lead to lasting improvements.
