Restoring mobility to victims of paralysis is one of the great challenges of modern medicine, and until recently, it remained more of a hope than reality. But in a pioneering clinical study, scientists may have finally crossed the frontier.
They’ve developed a cutting-edge new tech**logy that — for the first time —*has allowed a human with paralysis to move his hand again, a breakthrough described in a study published Wednesday (http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/nature17435) in the journal Nature.
The tech**logy is the product of a decade’s work involving close collaboration among experts in neurology, physiology and engineering
