A new accelerometer-based study from Michigan and Oxford shows that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity is associated with significantly lower odds of diabetic peripheral neuropathy — with vigorous activity cutting the odds by 60%.
"Restoration of sensory feedback from the foot and reduction of phantom limb pain via closed-loop spinal cord stimulation," published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, presents a study on restoring somatosensory feedback in individuals with lower-limb amputations. The research demonstrates that sensations from a missing foot can be evoked using lateral lumbosacral spinal cord stimulation with commercial... Continue Reading →
