This regeneration failure may be due to an intrinsic inability for damaged neurons to regrow in the adult as well as the formation, and persistence, of a lesion that is devoid of essential axon growth cues. My work is focused on using bioengi

We have previously developed an implanted neuroprosthesis that uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to activate the paralyzed muscles of the shoulder, arm, and hand in a coordinated manner to restore arm and hand function, and successfully deployed this system in three people with severe paralysis. We have more recently developed and deployed a FES system for the
