Recently, a case report of “Spatiotemporal Spinal Cord Stimulation with Real-time triggering Exoskeleton Restores Walking Capability”, completed by DUAN Wanru's team from Department of Neurosurgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, was published in the journal Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology. The xase report reveals that spatial and temporal sequences of spinal cord stimulation with a rehab exoskeleton can restore walking capability, which shows great potential of an innovative algorithm combining spatiotemporal sequencing with an exoskeleton robot (EXS-SCS) to restore walking ability in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).

The case was treated by precise activation of damaged neurons through electrical stimulation and post-operative walking training with gait analysis, which is a fusion therapy approach using RoboCT Technology's lower-limb rehab exoskeleton. The close collaboration between the Department of Neurosurgery at Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University and RoboCT Technology has enabled this innovative technology to move quickly from the lab to clinical application.

With the publication of this case report, it will promote the dissemination of spinal cord injury rehabilitation cases, provide new perspectives and methods for the field of rehabilitation therapy, and inspire more researchers to devote themselves to the study of spinal cord injury and jointly explore new ways of spinal cord injury rehabilitation; it will also provide a reference for the future clinical practice, and push forward the development of related technology and treatment methods. With the deepening of interdisciplinary cooperation and the continuous innovation of therapeutic methods, it is expected that more advances will be realized in the field of spinal cord injury rehabilitation, bringing more hope and possibilities to patients.
