Electric pulses may restore movement in people with broken necks.

Melanie Reid’s left hand had "flopped like a bunch of bananas" since she broke her neck in a horse-riding accident 14 years ago.

It works using electrodes attached around the affected area. High frequency pulses of electricity boost the impulses our brain sends to our hands and arms through our nerves, signals which in Melanie's case have been weakened by her spinal injury.Melanie Reid has had small improvements to her hand movements that have made a big difference to her life

While most of those in the trial had more movement with the device turned on, it is impossible to say yet how much of the longer-term improvements - when the patient isn't wearing it - are down to the electrical pulses and how much come from the occupational therapy. “I can’t put the improvements all down to the electrical stimulation, but I feel they have been accelerated and encouraged by it," she said.
