Thanks to the “”Method of Electrical Stimulation of the Spinal Cord in Spinal Cord Paralysis Patients,”” which have begun being implemented as a last hope within the scope of today’s advanced medical technology, we believe we can enable spinal cord paralyzed patients with no other treatment options to stand up and take steps without assistance.
To assess the potential success of the method, a detailed preliminary examination is first conducted on carefully selected patients. During this initial phase, electrical measurements and radiological tests are performed alongside evaluations by multiple experts to determine whether the patient might benefit from the method. This decision is made collaboratively by all stakeholders involved. Following this, the patient undergoes six weeks of intensive physical therapy during which electrical stimulations are applied to the spinal cord using various transcutaneous methods, and any tangible or visible improvements in the patient’s condition are monitored.
If improvement is observed, a final surgical intervention is performed to implant a spinal cord stimulator capable of providing continuous stimulation. After the required post-operative recovery period, another 12 weeks of intensive physical therapy is administered, during which the stimulator’s precise settings are calibrated to maximize its effectiveness.
