The Memo Reach Neuro Creating the Next Frontier in Stroke Care

Reach Neuro’s journey began with a shared vision: to restore independence and improve the quality of life for stroke survivors living with chronic motor deficits. Co-Founder Marco Capogrosso’s pioneering work on spinal cord stimulation, which initially focused on lower limb recovery for spinal cord injury patients, laid the scientific groundwork for the company. “What makes stroke unique is that the damage is in the brain, not the spinal cord,” explained Powell. “The circuits we’re stimulating are intact, making stroke an ideal model for targeted spinal stimulation.” This insight led the team to explore how spinal cord stimulation could be adapted to upper-limb movement for stroke patients.
