Brown University's trial restored leg movement and sensation in three people with complete spinal injuries using implanted electrodes and electrical stimulation.
A clinical trial led by Brown University and partners has successfully restored both leg movement and sensory feedback in three people with complete spinal cord injuries using implanted electrode arrays and patterned electrical stimulation.
Participants regained partial control of leg muscles and could sense limb position during treadmill walking, marking the first time simultaneous motor and sensory restoration has been achieved in such cases.
The approach, supported by federal funding and involving interdisciplinary collaboration, uses a customizable "DJ board" interface to adjust stimulation.
Researchers say this breakthrough brings new hope for functional independence in paralysis treatment.
