New treatment for spinal injuries

If earlier in paralysis of the lower limbs in humans hardly had chances for restoration of sensitivity, now just around the corner a time when people with spinal fractures are not only able to walk with the aid of special incentives, but also really recover from this Problems. Dr. Gregoire Courtin and his team have been working on this problem and have already achieved some the progress made so that the paralyzed rat is not just able to walk, but also to control their movement.

To be honest, when I read the caption to the video "Paralyzed rats can walk," the first thing that came to my mind, this is - "All right, we arrived. We are waiting for their own Resident Evil! ". As far as I remember, too, the doctor develops a drug that would help his daughter paralyzed walk again. To do this, he created a special virus. Fortunately, Gregoire Courtin and his team have gone a bit the other way and decided not to get involved in biology and add to what is already there, a little technology. This story is closer to the updated "Robocop" and "Elysium".

But seriously, if scientists can find a more optimal size for a way to create a mini-motor for human instead of the 200-pound robot, the treatment of such injuries will soon become commonplace, and a huge number of people will find their own again legs.
