Harvard researchers have developed an exosuit that assists walking in real time. A man with Parkinson's disease regained the ability to walk thanks to a spinal implant. Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has been found to help patients with Parkinson's disease walk. Targeted epidural stimulation of the spinal cord with an implanted neuroprosthesis improved the walking and balance abilities of an individual with severe movement deficits due to chronic Parkinson's disease. A game-changing Parkinson's implant has helped patients walk normally again without freezing and falling. A man with Parkinson's disease can now walk several kilometers without falling or the use of a cane, thanks to a device that electrically stimulates his spinal cord.
