Protecting your posture isn’t just about appearance. It’s about staying strong, mobile and independent as you age.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews this week suffered a fracture to his T7 vertebra. Here’s what that means.
Researchers have found a way to boost damaged spinal cord nerves – in some cases permanently.
Research published today shows that walking again is possible for individuals with spinal cord injury. After electrical stimulation, three people with lower leg paralysis could walk to some extent.
Claims that stem cell treatments can repair spinal injuries right now are overblown. But it’s not for lack of trying, and the science is certainly progressing.
We have developed a new stem cell technique capable of regenerating any human tissue damaged by injury, disease or ageing.
Science fiction can’t become science fact if neuroscientists are to carry out some daring surgery.
You might have heard about Darek Fidyka, the paralysed man from Poland who recently walked again after an experimental cell transplant. It made headlines around the world and raised the hopes of many people…
After Newcastle forward Alex McKinnon’s neck was broken in a lifting tackle in March, some commentators and parents have questioned whether rugby is just too dangerous for children, amateurs – and even…
Spinal cord injuries are currently irreparable. When nerve fibres in the central nervous system are damaged there is, as yet, no way of reversing this. But research we’ve been doing has led to the discovery…
Family support is critical to Australians with spinal cord injuries if they are to participate fully in our society. Researchers…
Researchers have been able to restore mobility in paralysed rats using a technique called deep brain stimulation. This involved delivering electrical impulses to an area of the brain called the mesencephalic…
Australian scientists have discovered improvements in balance and coordination of models with spinal injuries by blocking…
