During #nervetransfer for spinal cord injury, surgeons reroute or ‘transfer’ functioning nerves above the level of injury to paralyzed nerves below the injury. As a result, adults with upper extremity paralysis can regain movement and function in their elbows and hands. #SCI
We are launching a phase 2 clinical trial to assess whether surgically rerouting nerves can restore hand and arm function in people who have suffered spinal cord injuries in their necks. #spinalcord #clinicaltrial #quadriplegia
