Bump it!In an experimental new treatment, a 32-electrode stimulator was implanted near the C-5 vertebrae in the middle of a patient's neck, below the site of his spinal injury. This procedure was first used on two cervical spinal-cord injury patients who displayed a 300% increase in finger mobility and grip strength.
