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.
