Three people with a muscle-destroying disease destined to worsen got a little stronger -- able to stand and walk more easily -- when an implanted device zapped their spinal cord.

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord strengthened the muscles of three people with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare motor neuron disease.

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

A new spinal cord implant may help people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) regain some muscle function, giving the ...

In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.
