WATERLOO - At age 9, Shelley Kennedy suffered a stroke due to a rare muscular disease.

After a stroke, people often lose dexterity in one hand. Now, the Food and Drug Administration has authorized a device that can restore function by encouraging the brain to rewire.

Two stroke patients regained control of a disabled arm and hand after researchers delivered electrical stimulation to their spines, paving the way toward a medical device that could aid movement.

The study helped two stroke patients regain control of a disabled hand and arm through targeted electrical pulses.

A new brain-controlled device offers hope to stroke survivors like Jo Ann Gaddis who are working to regain hand function and return to activities they love.

A pilot test provides promising evidence that spinal cord stimulation could be "an assistive as well as a restorative approach" for upper-limb recovery after stroke, investigators report.

A phase II, randomized clinical trial found that the optimal period for intensive rehabilitation of arm and hand use after a stroke should begin 60 to 90 days after the event.
