Experimental Device Restores Hand Function in Spinal Cord Injury Patients

New study shows significant improvement in strength and independence for those paralyzed for decades

Ninety percent of participants regained strength or function in their upper limbs with ARC-EX therapy.
The study involved 65 participants across the U.S., Europe, and Canada, some injured up to 34 years ago.
Participants reported improved quality of life, reduced muscle spasms, and better sleep.
The ARC-EX system uses non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord.
FDA approval for the ARC-EX system is expected later this year.
