Summary
This study tested a new rehab approach for people with spinal cord injury. Ten participants received 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). The goal was to improve leg muscle strength and overall mobility. While not a cure, the treatment aims to help patients regain movement and improve their daily life.
