It is estimated that there are 276,000 Americans who live with a spinal cord injury. Until now, many clinicians report little to no improvement after a year of suffering a spinal cord injury. However, according to the journal PLOS One, new research has shown that epidural stimulation can help spinal cord injury patients to initiate movement and even stand and bear weight even years after becoming paralyzed.
An epidural stimulator is a device that is implanted in the spinal cord of patients to help generate signals from the brain to the spinal cord to initiate movement. The studies have shown the epidural stimulation has helped paraplegics to sit and even stand with the help of electrical currents via electrodes on the spinal cord that the patients can control via a remote.
Researchers intend to continue studying the spinal cord and the mechanics of spinal cord simulations in hopes that further progress can be made to enhance recoveries early on and increase the quality of life for paraplegics.
If you or a loved one suffer from a spinal injury due to the negligence of another, those responsible for the injury may have the duty to provide compensation for the profound physical and emotional loss. Time can be of the essence; delaying legal recourse could cause you to miss out on the damages that may be owed to you by the liable party. A lawyer trained in spinal cord injury litigation can help explain these deadlines.
