Recently, the Neurosurgery Department of Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University shared a new technology for sequential lectrical stimulation combined with exoskeleton rehabilitation treatment for spinal cord injuries, applying epidural electrical stimulation (EES) and exoskeleton to the rehabilitation, during when a complete "nerve-muscle-mechanical" feedback pathway is constructed to promote neural plasticity and functional reconstruction.
Electrical stimulation combined with exoskeleton rehabilitation therapy provides a new direction and hope for the rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries. This innovative technology was developed by the team of Dr. Duan Wanru of Xuanwu Hospital. It emphasizes the combination of sequential electrical stimulation and exoskeleton training, and strives to restore the patient's motor function. This fusion treatment accurately activates damaged neurons through electrical stimulation, and uses RoboCT's rehab exoskeleton for walking training and gait analysis after surgery, providing users with a more personalized and intelligent rehabilitation.
In the future, with further optimizing the synergy of electrical stimulation and exoskeletons, and continuing observation of the patient's rehablitation, it will bring new hope to more patients with spinal cord injuries.
