A device being developed at the University of Washington could help people with paralysis move their affected limbs. The team, which includes UW Medicine neurosurgeons, will receive $16 million over the next four years from the National Science Foundation to complete the project. Researchers expect clinical trials to begin eight to ten years from now.
