Brain stimulation helps partially paralyzed patients walk again
Posted by ArielTechGeek 56 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Two patients with spinal injuries have seen improvements in their ability to walk again, thanks to deep brain stimulation (DBS). Intriguingly, the therapy targets a region of the brain that normally isn’t associated with motor skills.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical Devices, Medical Innovations, Body & MindTags: Paralysis, Walk, Deep Brain Stimulation, Brain, neurons, Neuroscience, Implant,
Novel front-loading exoskeleton gets paralyzed patients up and walking
Posted by ArielTechGeek 97 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
