Summary

This study tested a combination of spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends electrical pulses to the spine) and a robotic exoskeleton (a wearable robot that helps with walking) in 10 people with spinal cord injury. The goal was to improve leg strength and overall movement. While there is no cure for spinal cord injury, this approach aims to help patients regain some ability to walk and improve their quality of life.
