Zap to the spine may help brain injury patients regain arm control
NCT ID NCT07147816
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the upper back could improve arm and hand function in people with long-term movement problems from a traumatic brain injury. Researchers measured strength, control, and muscle stiffness in 14 participants with and without the stimulation turned on. The goal was to gather early evidence to help develop future treatments for improving independence after brain injury.
