Jessie moved in with a friend and had a caregiver who helped her with daily tasks.  <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\u201cThey would help me into the bathroom. They would help me take a shower, fold all my laundry, help make meals,\u201d Jessie recounted. \u201cI could brush my teeth, but I couldn&#8217;t open a brand new bottle of toothpaste because the cap was really tight. So anything that I had to think about that I might need that day, I needed prepped and open and ready to go, or I had to wait till my friend came home from work.\u201d<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDuring that time, Jessie searched for solutions to help her overcome her physical challenges. Five years after her injury, she learned about a pilot study involving programmed, electrical stimulation of the spinal cord delivered through a non-invasive device. That programmed stimulation is called ARC<sup>EX<\/sup> Therapy.  <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<span class='color-alt'>Dr. Chet Moritz, a neuroscientist and professor at the University of Washington, ran the study involving ARC<sup>EX<\/sup> Therapy.<\/span> <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\u201cSpinal stimulation is really promising because it activates the neurons in the spinal cord through synapses,\u201d said Dr. Moritz. \u201cSo we don&#8217;t get the kind of fatigue and the kind of lack of coordination that we get when we stimulate the muscles directly.\u201d \n        <\/p>\n              <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n  .lines-bg {\n    background-size: cover;\n  }\n\n  .lines-bg:before,\n  .lines-bg:after {\n    content: \"\";\n    position: absolute;\n    z-index: 0;\n    width: 100%;\n    left: 0;\n    height: 8rem;\n    transition: 0.2s;\n    pointer-events: none;\n    \/*makes the linkes behind clickable.*\/\n  }\n\n  .lines-bg:before {\n    top: 0;\n    background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 1), rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 0));\n  }\n\n  .lines-bg:after {\n    bottom: 0;\n    background: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 1), rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 0));\n  }\n\n  @media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\n\n    .lines-bg:before,\n    .lines-bg:after {\n      height: 4rem;\n    }\n  }\n\n  .text-block .color-alt {\n    color: var(--theme-altColor);\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<!-- TODO MARKUP -->\n\n<div style=\"--theme-bgFade: 255, 255 , 255; --theme-altColor: #fa525b;\" data-block_23a00e280b9b037fa04f98fea1f85b28 class=\"text-block text-standard align bg-white w-full\">\n  <section class=\"w-full relative\">\n            <div class=\"max-w-screen-2xl mx-auto px-10 py-20 md:p-20 lg:p-40\">\n                          <p data-aos=\"fade-in\" data-aos-easing=\"ease-in-out-cubic\" data-aos-duration=\"300\" class=\"text-xl lg:text-3xl font-light mt-14 text-grey lg:mt-16 max-w-screen-lg relative\">\n          Jessie signed up for the study. Over several weeks, she practiced tasks like stringing beads and stacking blocks without the stimulation. She says she had a hard time with those tasks. But she says those tasks became much easier once she did them in conjunction with the stimulation. <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n \u201cWhen the stimulation was put on and I did the exact same activities and the exact same measurements. After about two sessions, I realized that I wasn&#8217;t frustrated anymore. I was having some fun. I was competing with myself. I was stacking the blocks higher, I could pour the water. And that&#8217;s when I was like, there might actually be something here. By the end of the study, I felt significantly more confident in my hand strength.\u201d  <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nShe says she noticed benefits from the therapy in daily tasks at home as well.  \n        <\/p>\n              <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n  .lines-bg {\n    background-size: cover;\n  }\n\n  .lines-bg:before,\n  .lines-bg:after {\n    content: \"\";\n    position: absolute;\n    z-index: 0;\n    width: 100%;\n    left: 0;\n    height: 8rem;\n    transition: 0.2s;\n    pointer-events: none;\n    \/*makes the linkes behind clickable.*\/\n  }\n\n  .lines-bg:before {\n    top: 0;\n    background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 1), rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 0));\n  }\n\n  .lines-bg:after {\n    bottom: 0;\n    background: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 1), rgba(var(--theme-bgFade), 0));\n  }\n\n  @media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\n\n    .lines-bg:before,\n    .lines-bg:after {\n      height: 4rem;\n    }\n  }\n\n  .text-block .color-alt {\n    color: var(--theme-altColor);\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<!-- TODO MARKUP -->\n\n<div style=\"--theme-bgFade: 250, 82, 91; --theme-altColor: #313335;\" data-block_f77ee7c9e091536773eec37a95a2c896 class=\"text-block text-standard align bg-primary w-full\">\n  <section class=\"w-full relative\">\n          <div style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.onwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/onward\/public\/images\/gant-bg-primary.ad8d87.svg);\" class=\"lines-bg h-full absolute w-full top-0 left-0 bg-top md:bg-center bg-no-repeat\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"max-w-screen-2xl mx-auto px-10 py-20 md:p-20 lg:p-40\">\n                        <h2 data-aos=\"fade-in\" data-aos-easing=\"ease-in-out-cubic\" data-aos-duration=\"300\" class=\"text-5xl lg:text-6xl font-semibold hide-br-moblie text-white relative\">\u201cI found myself being able to open some jars.
