What Is ARC-EX?

ARC-EX is the first FDA-approved, non-invasive spinal cord stimulation system designed to improve hand sensation and strength in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury.

Developed by ONWARD Medical, ARC-EX delivers gentle electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on the back of the neck while individuals practice real-world functional tasks in the clinic—like gripping, reaching, and self-care activities.

This therapy is personalized, non-surgical, and used only in supervised rehabilitation settings like ours.

Why ARC-EX Matters

For people living with spinal cord injury, regaining even small movements can unlock much bigger changes—greater independence, confidence, and quality of life.

The Evidence Behind ARC-EX

ARC-EX is backed by strong clinical research.

In the Up-LIFT pivotal trial, published in Nature Medicine:

90% of participants improved in at least one key strength or functional measure
87% reported improvements in overall quality of life
Meaningful improvements were seen up to 34 years after injury
No serious device-related adverse events were reported

Participants showed gains in:

Hand and arm strength
Sensation
Functional independence with daily activities like grooming and dressing

Why We’re Fundraising

Bringing ARC-EX to Neurorecovery Center of Nashville means:

Expanding access to cutting-edge, FDA-approved therapy
Offering new hope to individuals who are years—even decades—post-injury
Strengthening our ability to deliver life-changing, evidence-based care

The ARC-EX system requires a significant upfront investment, along with training and integration into our rehab programs. Your support directly helps us make this therapy available to our community.
