Paralyzed Man, 28, Walks Again Using Brain-Controlled Exoskeleton
French researchers say a paralyzed 28-year-old man was able to use a mind-controlled robotic suit to walk for the first time since he experienced a severe cervical spine injury four years ago.
The implants let the man — only identified by his first name, Thibault — operate the suit by reading the signals in his sensorimotor cortex, the area of the brain that controls movement. “It was like [being the] first man on the Moon,” he told the BBC. “I didn’t walk for two years. I forgot what it is to stand, I forgot I was taller than a lot of people in the room.”
While this is not the first time researchers have attempted to use an exoskeleton to help people with physical disabilities, Professor Alim-Louis Benabid — President of the Clinatec Executive Board and Professor Emeritus from the University of Grenoble, France — says the university’s suit is less invasive than previous attempts.
