Article Synopsis
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely affects sensory-motor and autonomic functions, but a new rehabilitation technique shows promise in improving patient outcomes.
- A 28-month, multi-step protocol using non-invasive brain-machine interfaces and assisted locomotion led to significant sensory and motor recovery in seven chronic SCI patients, moving several from complete to partial impairment classifications.
- Patients reported enhanced quality of life, though one patient who stopped training after 12 months showed no continued improvement, emphasizing the importance of ongoing therapy.
