The STIMO study now begins human clinical trial recruiting for SCI
STIMO is a First-in-Man (FIM) study to confirm the safety and feasibility of a closed-loop Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) in combination with over ground robot assisted rehabilitation training for patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Clinical Trial LINK … Continue reading

Paralysis: primates recover better than rodents
Monkeys and humans exhibit greater motor recovery than rats after similar spinal cord injury, according to a study conducted in Grégoire Courtine’s lab at EPFL. The identification of this primate-specific mechanism of recovery has major implications for future research. Using … Continue reading
Electronic long-term multimodal neural interfaces with Courtine & Lacour
New therapies are on the horizon for individuals paralyzed following spinal cord injury. The e-Dura implant developed by EPFL scientists can be applied directly to the spinal cord without causing damage and inflammation. The device is described in an article … Continue reading
Project NEUWalk Closer to Clinical Trials
A new lab at the CHUV will extend this technology to human patients as early as next summer using an innovative Gait Platform, bringing the European Project NEUWalk closer to clinical trials. The EPFL scientists discovered how to control in … Continue reading

Inspiring New Thinking to Restore Function after Spinal Cord Injury: Gregoire Courtine
Functional restoration after SCI has been interpreted as the need to promote long-distance regeneration. More immediate strategies may exploit spared circuitries, inspiring new thinking for therapeutic designs. Grégoire Courtine was trained in Mathematics and Physics, but received his PhD degree … Continue reading
