Mind-Controlled hand: brain implant lets paralyzed person move again
NCT ID NCT03482310
Summary
This study tested a system to help a person with chronic arm paralysis from a spinal cord injury regain hand movement. The participant, who already had a brain implant from a previous study, used their thoughts to control a system that delivered small electrical pulses to muscles in their arm and hand. Researchers measured how well they could perform different hand-grasping patterns, both in virtual reality and on their actual hand.
