Upper-body Multi-function
Multi-functional Neuroprosthetic System for Restoration of Motor Function in Spinal Cord Injury The goal of this project is to restore these multiple functions to these individuals through a comprehensive neuroprosthetic approach that addresses the overall needs of the individual. In clinical feasibility studies in people living with spinal cord injury, our clinical research teams have…
Neuroscientists Say They’ve Found an Entirely New Form of Neural Communication
Scientists think they’ve identified a previously unknown form of neural communication that self-propagates across brain tissue, and can leap wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another – even if they’ve been surgically severed.
Case Western Reserve University to showcase research projects on April 20
Cleveland FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) Center: Military veteran David Powers, an FES Center patient, will help demonstrate how FES technology has restored respiratory muscle function. The technology helps those with spinal-cord injuries.
Current Clinical Trials
Research Goals Within each of the active clinical protocols, real human needs are being addressed to bring research and technology advances into the clinic. Regulatory oversight is addressed through dedicated staff working with the individual investigators. Leading the charge with the research community, the FES Center continues to expand and review these human subject programs…
