Spinal Implant Helps Paralysed Man Walk & Have Child
Electrical Spinal Implant Helps Paralysed Man Have Child
BBC News 7 Feb 2022
David M’zee was 22 when an injury damaged his spine, leaving him paralysed 12 years ago.
In 2017, an electrical implant to his spine enabled him to stand and walk slowly by boosting the nerve signals to his legs.
He uses the device for short periods to exercise his muscles and practise walking, and says that even when it’s not turned on, it’s brought such an improvement to his health that he’s been able to have a child.
