New Version Of Electrical Stimulation For Spine Appears To Help Paralyzed People Walk Again

A new medical device appears to be able to help paralyzed people walk again. The results are still early, but they're so remarkable, it could be a game changer. CBS2's Dr. Max Gomez says it’s a newer version of electrical stimulation for the spine.

I remember being a kid and hearing about this, we are REALLY in the future

Medical Science is amazing. I'm 3 terms away from becoming a Science teacher. We need more Scientists pushing the boundaries. Hopefully, I can show the student's how fun and exciting Science can be.

[@imeverywhere9633]

Thank you so much. I have to say as a medical students you can be more impactful per year than my entire lifetime.

That is great! I have a spinal cord stimulator, my feet are numb and leg nerves do not work very well anymore. I'm 66 and the stimulator is great. Good luck to all the patients 🍀😊. Thank you Doctors🙂

Hello , I need this one can you help me where and how can i get this

[@barbiemckofka8700]

Leo Hi, I was on my Husband's Insurance at the time. Yes they paid for it. I had two surgeries, one they put 2 rods and 4 screws, I also had many injections. Then I went in for a nerve test on my legs, doc said I needed the SCS. I did a trial with one and liked it. Then doc put on a permanent unit. Good luck 🍀 ☘️ 🍀

[@barbiemckofka8700]

@@dipendraacharya3698 I went through stages, 2 back surgeries, pain doc, doc that tested for feeling in my legs and feet. No feeling the my Neurologist put the trail in and the the permanent SCS. I didn't just go straight to the SCS, it took years. I don't know what stage you are? Good luck 👍 Be safe 🙏

Wow! But too bad this development did not come soon enough for Christopher Reeve. 🙁

[@UfschtonGong]

The developements of the past few years give hope. I have spinalchord injury by myself. Just a few weeks ago I let implant myself another stimulater. It s called possover LION procedure. I have big hope to walk again 😄

[@thunkjunk]

Anyone ever seen that DS9 episode where Quark, Rom and Nog have to save Moogie and they accidentally killed the Vorta they needed to exchange so they hooked up the corpse to electrical stimulators?

[@dustin9893]

How does this work? Do you have to get surgery to have it implanted on your spine or something??

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

It looks like a wheelchair would still be way faster and easier to get around in. They still have to take the walker with them anyways so why not a wheelchair and when they want to stand up to do stuff they can hold the handles on the back and use it like a walker

[@tyreedarby6235]

it just feels better not depending on a chair trust me

[@odenunda4868]

I hope soon well available here in the Philippines

[@2000toinfinity]

for spinal injuries immediate intake of intravenous ascorbate can significantly reduce the chance of paralysis below the injury point. Mind boggling why IV C repeatedly gets ignored on multiple levels.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

China didn't ignore it. They ordered literal trucks with tons of it march of 2020 to treat covid in wuhan.

[@2000toinfinity]

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep yes I'm aware. A Chinese American doctor was the one who authored the study that U.S. healthy authorities refused to carry out. The Chinese took on the study, and cured 50 out of 50 moderate to severe COVID patients with IV vitamin C(ascorbate) They then made it part of their frontline treatment plan in the Shanghai area.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

@@2000toinfinity Yup there was a big announcement from Shanghai even. It's crazy how manipulated the news is that none of these was ever published in mainstream news. But I guess what can we expect when there was massive corruption of data manipulation of the Lancet HCQ study that had to be retracted(if I recall first ever) right at the start of the pandemic. That says everything.

I am so happy for this new technology which is helping people of paralysis to become mobile again. ❤

[@Holiday_Ringo]

This is getting people comfortable with the idea of putting electronics in human bodies.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

@Truth sucks more is better than less but in reality is what was shown here more practical than just using a wheelchair? It doesn't appear so. In fact it doesn't even look safe how he is jerking all over the place while holding the walker. Even at home it doesn't seem like a practical increase in mobility. It looks like the technology still needs a lot of work to warrant the surgery.

Omg oh

[@ralphkramden1741]

an electrical buzzing reminiscent of Tesla or Frankenstein/ send a flowing current of curative electrons up the human spine/ somehow generating new life in nerves once in decline

[@barbiemckofka8700]

I have a spinal cord stimulator, my nerves in my legs and feet stopped working. Research it. I am 66 years old, I am not a Tesla or Frankenstein. I do drive a Prius🤣🤣

[@MoQueenLaLa]

@@barbiemckofka8700 I have a spinal cord injury level T6, I was wondering did you pay out of pocket for the stimulator or did insurance cover it?

[@barbiemckofka8700]

@@MoQueenLaLa Hi, I was on my Husband's health insurance. So yes they did pay for it. I had been going to my pain doc, both my feet started to go numb and my legs. Scary! He sent me to a doc that put needles in my legs and feet. And I didn't have any feeling. I was 66 then. My pain doc told me I could live with it in a diaper and wheel chair or get the Spinal cord stimulator. So I did a trail for a week, on the outside of my body. I could feel my feet again. So I had my Neurologist put it in my lower back and I have wires up my spine. I go in for adjustments every now and then. When I don't use it my feet feel like they are covered with dried mud, it all weird when I wiggle my toes. That the only way I can explain it. LoL 😆 You can have it set to feel it or not, now I like to feel it a little. I hope this helps. 🙏 Good luck 🍀 ☘️ 🍀 Be safe 🙏 ❤️
