Exoskeleton helps the patient to walk again

Release date: 2015-09-07

Helium is one of the challenges that modern medicine has yet to overcome, but many researchers are looking for ways to help paralyzed patients walk again. Recent scientists from the University of California have designed a system that allows Mark Pollock, which is completely paralyzed below the waist, to walk again with the help of spinal cord stimulation and exoskeleton. Pollock was the first blind athlete to compete in the Antarctic and win the Gold Medal in the Commonwealth Rowing Championships. However, in 2010 he broke his spine and he was only able to sit in a wheelchair for the past four years. Now he is able to control his muscles with the help of this new technology, walking thousands of steps in just two weeks. Researchers say this is the first time a completely paralyzed patient can walk again by controlling his muscles. According to CNET, the system consists of a battery-driven machine exoskeleton and components that manage non-invasive spinal cord stimulation.

The exoskeleton needs to be supported when the spinal cord receives brain instruction information to stimulate the muscles to exercise instructions.

Studies have shown that even if paralyzed patients need to rely on the exoskeleton of the machine to help balance, they can still control the muscles to help them walk as they wish.
