Device Helps Spinal Cord Injury Sufferers

Did you know that almost a quarter of a million Americans are living with spinal cord injuries? It's true. Thanks to advances in modern science, these people are able to do much more with their injuries compared to just ten years ago.

In most cases, someone that has a spinal cord injury will have lost the mobility of one or multiple limbs. Researchers have been working with spinal cord injury victims to increase mobility and range of motion in the affected limbs. Recent advances in science include computer microchips and robotics that help people accomplish routine activities that most people take for granted.

One woman tells her story about an injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She is now working with a team of researchers to improve a robotic suit that allows her to walk around on her own. By wearing a small computer and a remote control on her wrist, the woman has increased her range of motion and hope of resuming a normal life.
