Spinal cord stimulators use electric impulses to help people control pain sensations. Despite widespread use, these devices carry documented failure risks that lawsuits against Medtronic, Abbott, ...

Spinal cord stimulator lawsuits claim Abbott, Medtronic, Boston Scientific and Nevro manufactured devices that can fail, but companies didn’t properly warn about risks. If you suffered a device ...

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering, often leaving individuals with severe mobility impairments. While rehabilitation robotics—devices that guide movement during therapy—have improved training for ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them.

A Johns Hopkins materials scientist and a team of collaborators have developed a tiny device that may hold promise for restoring mobility to those with lower limb paralysis, a condition affecting ...

In an episode of ABC’s Four Corners this week, the use of spinal cord stimulators for chronic back pain was brought into question. Spinal cord stimulators are devices implanted surgically which ...

A tiny device may hold promise for restoring mobility to people with lower limb paralysis. The condition affects approximately 1.4 million Americans. The device, a spinal stimulator, can be placed ...

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is a promising strategy for reestablishing walking after spinal cord injury, recent studies show. But for patients suffering from muscle spasms, the ...

(Nanowerk News) A Johns Hopkins materials scientist and collaborators have developed a tiny device that may hold promise for restoring mobility to those with lower limb paralysis, a condition ...

Scientists have developed an approach that combines rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord stimulation to restore movement in people with spinal cord injuries. The technology enhances rehabilitation ...
