Injectable nanoscale stimulator transforms spinal cord therapy and motor function recovery

Nov 27, 2023

(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 affecting approximately 1.4 million Americans.

Key Takeaways

  • New spinal stimulator, injectable and nanoscale, promises significant advances in treating lower limb paralysis.
  • Designed for minimal invasiveness, the device targets the ventrolateral epidural surface, close to key motor neurons.
  • This technology showcases potential for more natural and diverse leg movements,…
