Two paralysed patients have been able to walk short distances and even climb stairs once more after being implanted with electrodes in their brains. Both had catastrophic spinal injuries that meant they relied on a wheelchair before the operation. But in a world first, surgeons used a technique called deep brain stimulation to “re-awaken” dormant…

A device that sends an electrical “buzz” through the skin could allow people who were paralysed several decades ago to regain movement in their arms and hands. The ARC-EX device sends an electrical current to the spinal cord through surface electrodes, increasing strength, sensation and ability to move in people with paraplegia. Volunteers who took…

A paralysed man has been able to walk again after communication was re-established between his brain and spinal cord using a wireless “digital bridge”. The so-called brain computer interface is made up of two electronic implants, one each in the brain and spinal cord. Read more:Analysis: Paralysis breakthrough is quite astonishing – and AI is…

Enter the cyborg. A man, paralysed in a cycling accident 10 years ago, is now able to walk again because of a wireless digital link between his brain and spinal cord. The video of Gert-Jan Oskam standing, walking and even climbing stairs is remarkable. Yes, he drags his feet slightly. Yes, his movements are slow.…
