NIH awarded a grant to University of Pittsburgh for a project testing neurostimulation to improve motor function in post-stroke hemiplegia, involving implantable cervical stimulators and pilot trials.
Description
The project aims to test the efficacy of neurostimulation targeting the cervical spinal cord combined with physical therapy to improve motor recovery in post-stroke hemiparesis. The project involves validation of implantable cervical stimulators, pilot trials, and a feasibility study. The project is funded by NIH, with a focus on neurological disorders and stroke rehabilitation. The project is led by Dr. Marco Capogrosso, with collaboration from Dr. Douglas Weber.
