Abstract Restoring motor function in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs), strokes, or amputations is a crucial challenge. Recent studies show that spared motor neurons can still be voluntarily controlled using surface electromyography (EMG), even without visible movement. To harness thes

Oliveira, D. S., Ponfick, M., I Braun, D., Osswald, M., Sierotowicz, M., Chatterjee, S., Weber, D., Eskofier, B., Castellini, C., Farina, D., Kinfe, T. M., Del Vecchio, A. Abstract Paralysis of the muscles controlling the hand dramatically limits the quality of life for individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Here, with a non-invasive neural interface, we demonstrate that eight motor complete SCI individuals (C5-C6) are still able to task-modulate in real-time the a
