If your hand or arm gets numb, the cause could range from carpal tunnel syndrome to a pinched nerve. No matter the reason, treatments can give you relief as well as get to the root of the problem.

{}Clark describes this technology as 'wiretapping nerve-endings'. It uses a series of electrodes to connect nerves in the arm to the {}prosthetic hand.

Using a new type of nerve transfer surgery, an Australian surgeon has been able to restore the hand and arm movement in 13 adult patients who were paralyzed in sports and traffic accidents.

With a direct connection to the bone, click-on appliances like this don't need a prosthesis socket, making it easy to take on and off and avoiding chafing and other skin problems.

Nerves inside paralysed people's bodies have been "rewired" to give movement to their arms and hands, say Australian surgeons. Patients can now feed themselves, put on make-up, turn a key, handle ...

Altogether, 59 nerve transfers were completed in 13 men and three women and a total of 27 limbs. In 10 patients, nerve transfers were combined with tendon transfers to improve hand function.

Since surgeons connect working nerves in the upper arms to a patient's damaged nerves in their arms and hands, the technique targets patients with injuries at the C6 or C7 vertebra, the lowest ...
