Paralysed man with severed spine walks thanks to implant
Michel Roccati tells the BBC he “almost has a normal life” again thanks to an electrical implant. …
So far nine people have received the implant and regained the ability to walk. None of them use it to help them walk in their everyday lives – because it’s too complicated at this stage. Instead, they use it to practise walking – which exercises their muscles, improves their health – and often, restores a little bit of movement.
