In a major breakthrough for stroke victims, researchers have developed a new technology that could help restore movement in the hands of those affected by the condition.

The new technology, called spinal cord stimulation (SCS), has been tested in two stroke survivors who were able to move their arms after receiving stimulation to the spine. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, found that the SCS could improve muscle function in the hands and arms of stroke victims.

The SCS works by sending electrical pulses to the spine, which can help the brain re-establish communication with the affected muscles. This can help restore movement and sensation in the hands and arms.

In addition, researchers at the University of California San Francisco have developed a device called a “tickle” that can be implanted in the hand of stroke patients to help them regain movement. The device works by sending electrical signals to the affected muscles to help them contract and relax.

The research team at UCSF is also working on a device that can be implanted in the brain to help stroke survivors regain movement in their hands.

These new technologies offer hope to stroke patients who have lost movement in their hands and arms. With the help of these devices, stroke survivors can regain control of their hands and arms and potentially improve their quality of life.
