Scientists based at the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center have implanted a neuroprosthetic device that is able to coordinate the activity of the hip, knee and ankle muscles, into a stroke patient with limited mobility. As a result of this, the patient has seen a substantial improvement in both his walking speed and…
