Parkinson's Disease: A Neuroprosthetic to Correct Walking Disorders

Neuroscientists and neurosurgeons at the EPFL/CHUV/UNIL, Inserm, and the University of Bordeaux have designed a neuroprosthetic intended to correct walking disorders associated with Parkinson's disease. In a study published in Nature Medicine, the scientists set out in detail the process of developing the neuroprosthetic that has allowed a first patient with Parkinson's to be treated, enabling him to walk comfortably, confidently and without falling.
