Nature publication breaks boundaries: Brain-Spine Interface empowers paralyzed individual to walk again!

“My wish was to walk again and I believed it was possible. I tried many things before and now I have to learn how to walk naturally again,” the participant, Gert-Jan, reported in the press briefing. “I can walk at least 100 or 200 metres, depending on the day, and I can stand for two or three minutes unsupported.”
