A breakthrough neuromodulation system rapidly restores motor function in patients with a severe spinal cord injury (SCI), new research shows.
The study demonstrated that an epidural electrical stimulation (EES) system developed specifically for spinal cord injuries enabled three men with complete paralysis to stand, walk, cycle, swim, and move their torso within 1 day.
SCIs involve severed connections between the brain and extremities. To compensate for these lost connections, researchers have investigated stem cell therapy, brain-machine interfaces, and powered exoskeletons.
However, these approaches aren’t yet ready for prime time.
Albert Einstein once said to not let your brain interfere with your heart…. but this doggo is proving that to be pretty difficult right now…
Thanks for the pic and posi vibes, @thegoldenlife!
