# 2024 The Regrasp System |
|
The Regrasp System offers a groundbreaking solution for restoring hand function in patients with spinal cord injuries. By using flexible, penetrating electrodes to stimulate peripheral nerves, the system bypasses spinal cord damage to evoke natural hand movements. It comprises an implanted module for muscle contractions and an external control unit that translates residual movements into commands. With demonstrated biocompatibility, preclinical success, and forthcoming clinical trials, Regrasp aims to enhance quality of life and independence for individuals with tetraplegia
Elena Losanno is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Biorobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa, Italy. She received the Master’s degree in Bionics Engineering in 2019 and the PhD degree in Biorobotics in 2023, both from Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna. Her work is in the field of neuroengineering and neuroprosthetics and involves the development and validation of neurotechnologies to restore motor functions in patients with lower and upper limb paralysis. more
