Motor assist band

Motor assist bands were 24th century pieces of medical equipment. They were four-centimeter-wide straplike rectangular devices designed to be wrapped around a humanoid limb.
They were designed to create electrical impulses in damaged tissue, or route weak nervous signals around nonfunctional tissue. Although they were very sophisticated devices, it could take several days and even weeks to master their use and even then, patients rarely recovered one hundred percent of their mobility.
The motor assist bands were also used to train the nervous system of a patient before surgery to implant neural transducers.
The Zalkonian named John Doe used motor assist bands during his rehabilitation in 2366. He had much success with the bands due to his extraordinary physiology. () 
Lieutenant Worf also used the bands following his spinal injury in 2368, but had little patience for learning how to use them. ()
