FRANCE-NEUROPROSTHETICS-EXOSKELETON-HEALTH
French project manager Gullaume Charvet presents the brain-controlled exoskeleton that allowed a disabled patient to walk again at the biomedical research center Clinatec in Grenoble on October 7, 2019. A French man paralysed in a night club accident can walk again thanks to a brain-controlled exoskeleton in what scientists said was a breakthrough providing hope to tetraplegics seeking to regain movement. The patient trained for months, harnessing his brain signals to control a computer-simulated avatar to perform basic movements before using the robot device to walk. Doctors who conducted the trial cautioned that the device is years away from being publicly available but stressed that it had "the potential to improve patients' quality of life and autonomy".
