Selective neural electrical stimulation restores hand and forearm movements in individuals with complete tetraplegia

Abstract Background We hypothesized that a selective neural electrical stimulation of radial and median nerves enables the activation of functional movements in the paralyzed hand of individuals with tetraplegia. Compared to previous approaches for which up to 12 muscles were targeted through indivi...
