Stimulator Bypasses Spine Injury, Helps Patients Move Hands (IMAGE)
Caption
Brian Gomez works on building his arm strength during a therapy session at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. After being paralyzed in an accident in 2011, Gomez became one of the first patients in the world to have an experimental stimulator implanted near the damaged area of his spine in an effort to help him regain partial use of his hands.
