Inspiring New Thinking to Restore Function after Spinal Cord Injury: Gregoire Courtine at TEDxCHUV

[@NORIKOOSUMI1128]

This is a great talk! Not only scientifically excellent, but also socially impressive. Strongly recommend to watch!

[@agramer]

A rare example of truly good neuroscience.

[@matthewrevell2706]

As of a few days ago 3 paralyzed people could walk because of this type of research. Now read the comments to this video.

These stories always come from a remote and inaccessible part of the world in a hospital that no one has ever heard of , and never in a populated common area , where lots of people live. And the treatment is always five or ten years in the future.

[@rollyson8090]

How long I have to wait for this treatment from my local hospital in Canada? It is too much suffering from spinal cord injury in very minute and day.

[@wingolamb2892]

How your condition now

[@rollyson8090]

I would like to have a treatment like he said in this video clip please. I got so much suffering in life after I got spinal cord injury T5 completed.

[@josephbombace5676]

Me too. Where. can I get this treatment

[@timoboll88]

amazing work, congratulations gregoire, keep up the good work!

[@skibitom]

Great speech.

"How wonderful it is! How powerful the spirit of man, while his body is so weak! If the susceptibilities of the spirit control him, there is no created being more heroic, more undaunted than man.. Therefore, it is divinely intended that the spiritual susceptibilities of man should gain precedence and overrule his physical forces..." ~ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Baha'i Faith

[@sapnaVanga]

How long you researchers will keep doing something for spinal cord injury treatment and then stop it as soon as get huge money from big pharma?

[@mahibaislam3960]

Is it available for human? Which country is this?

[@MVJB]

One day one of of these therapies will work. But the fundamental understanding of biology is not there yet. I recommend anyone with an acquired SCI accept their disability and adapt to their circumstances. These types of videos champion being able to WALK which is the least of the problems for people with SCI. The therapies they invent won't be for people who have been injured several years ago because so many physiological changes will have happened that the therapy would be super difficult and painful. It will happen, one day but don't base your life on it. Good luck to the researchers out there, one day you will find the answer - just like antibiotics and transplants.

[@sunnyraj7774]

My injury is from c2 to c6 is there any possibility for me to recover.?

[@creamychoclatelobsterwarri979]

Well how did it go

[@breezelights]

How are u doing now?

[@jermaineknott753]

test me please!!!

[@ricardsiagian4352]

stage of bs

[@woodchuck5214]

blah blah, 18 years post and still the same words like 'could', 'may one day', 'with more research'. This guy is excited about things i read 12 years ago. Where are we now.

[@cloud_88]

Right

[@hungry.nezuko3742]

surprise, he achieved it, 3 people are walking now because of him, what have you done? hmmmm?

[@davidmustoe6818]

Wood Chuck ..I wouldn't be too hard on him..he sounds like someone who could be crippled. I am myself from spinal cord injury...and his comment is very relatable. As a cripple you watch these type presentations with a part of you on the edge of your seat, only to once again hear 'one day' etc.

[@corellicorelli]

8 years old video. That’s not much.

[@flw9633]

Thankfully, this visionary refused to agree with the "scientific consensus" that argued that the science was settled.

[@sivarama8096]

Useless video. And as on Today 7 YEARS PASSED is there any Human. Can benifited.

[@romainkb_]

Yes there is, his work has been slowed by laws, but now it works. Some patients can benefit this system, and walk without electric stimulation despite spinal cord injury. So, please, don't criticize work of great scientist, not knowing all the aspects that make his efforts hard. I know this man and he has literally dedicated his life to paralyzed people. He is a modern hero.

[@josephbombace5676]

@Romain Kubiak ok then give us info how to get treatment. He can stand there and talk all he wants but he doesn't do anything im tired of this bs! People are suffering, and all he does is talk. How about tell us how or where to get it. Useless unless he actually does something. You Roman, tell me where in US I can get treatment if you think he's brilliant.
