Delivering a diversified electric message to the different fibres of the injured spinal cord through a new technology able to deliver it in a targeted and independent manner—what is the result? Greater efficiency in recovering the control of voluntary limb movements in the event of serious damage to the spinal cord. This is the focus of the research study just published in Brain Stimulation. By adopting a completely new approach, the study offers a significant contribution to the field of electrical stimulation for the recovery of motor function, an area of great interest for possible future clinical applications. Although the steps forward in this field have already been outstanding, with some first clinical tests conducted, much still needs to be done.
