World first quadriplegic regains hand use via brain controlled implant
Jim Jatich, a 49 year old quadriplegic from Coventry Township Ohio, regains hand function through a six hour Freehand implant at the Cleveland FES Center. A cap with 64 electrodes reads brain signals to move a computer cursor setting, lifting hopes for 125,000 worldwide with spinal cord injuries. The center, a consortium led by VA Medical Center and Case Western, receives about four million in federal funding annually and has treated nearly 200 patients in clinical trials since the 1980s.
