研究人员发现深层脑刺激能帮助脊髓损伤患者再次走路。 Researchers found deep brain stimulation can help patients with spinal cord injuries walk again.

EPFL和洛桑大学医院的研究人员发现,深脑刺激(DBS)可以帮助脊髓部分损伤的病人恢复行动能力。 Researchers at EPFL and Lausanne University Hospital have found that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help patients with partial spinal cord injuries regain mobility. 通过刺激脑部的一部分与行走没有联系的横向下脑炎,两名病人能够步行和爬上楼梯,显示出长期改善。 By stimulating the lateral hypothalamus, a part of the brain not previously linked to walking, two patients were able to walk and climb stairs, showing long-term improvements. 这项突破表明大脑在后的运动恢复中起着关键作用. This breakthrough suggests the brain plays a key role in motor recovery post-paralysis.
