Spinal Cord Injury

People with spinal cord injury will enjoy life in the ways that matter to them

We are creating solutions to restore movement and other functions disrupted by spinal cord injury

Discover our Therapy

ARC Therapy is targeted, programmed stimulation of the spinal cord designed to restore movement and other critical functions after spinal cord injury (SCI).

We are currently working to introduce ARC Therapy to restore movement of the legs, arms, and hands and to better regulate blood pressure after SCI. Some of these initiatives also use an AI-driven brain-computer interface.

Our future plans include investigation of the potential for ARC Therapy to restore additional functions impacted by SCI, such as bladder and bowel control.

“When we talk about 10% more function, we think about how important that is in terms of being able to live a life. That little bit more independence allows you to do so much more.”
