I am paralyzed and seeing this video gives me so much hope for the future. I am very interested in the US based trials, as my injury is only a year old, and still healing. Can you please provide more information on that? Thanks Dagogo.
Try searching for "us trials spine implant". You can find more info that way. I have no idea who you are, but I wish you full recovery. All the best as well!
The USA trial is probably a few years away but it might be worth contacting the organisation who did the study (EPFL) here: christelle.arbogast@epfl.ch You could inquiry there I would assume. Thanks for the comment!
As a person who has had a spinal injury from a motorcycle accident, I am both surprised and not surprised by this. My injury did not leave me with paralysis, but I have diminished nerve feedback. Basically, my left leg is “asleep” permanently. I was equipped with a spinal cord stimulator mentioned here for pain management. It has helped me regain a mostly normal life. My pain is manageable now, and I’ve adapted to the lack of feedback. All of my cars are stick shift, and I have no problem driving them now. Wonderful job, Dagogo. Thank you for this.
Yes. I was on my motorcycle when someone ran a stop sign. He pulled out in front of me. My bike hit his front fender, and I was pulled under the truck. My lumbar area already had degraded from genetics and previous injuries. But the accident tore the disc completely. My vertebrae were grinding bone on bone, pinching nerves with severe pain. I was 29 and walking with a cane. Some good doctors decided to fuse my spine from the L3-S1 region with titanium pins and rods. They could fix the pain OR the nerve damage. But not both. My left leg was completely numb, so I elected for fixing the nerve damage. It worked. Whilst I don’t have completely restored nerves, it is much better than before. But the frequent surgeries and damage left extensive scar tissue with severe chronic pain. Four years after the fusion, I had the stimulator implant. It has lessened the pain considerably and truly was one of the best decisions I made. It has significant caveats with it, but it is well worth it.
Absolutely. First, you need a trial run. Stimulator surgery is not for everyone. The varying amounts of nerve damage from person to person means you may not benefit from it. You’ll be fitted with temporary wires going into the spine with a bulky exterior unit to try. If it works, you’ll get the semi-permanent one. First, it does not eliminate pain. It merely obfuscates it like TENS pads you get in physical therapy. In my case, I have pins and needles sensations in my left leg and lower back. It takes a while, but you can adapt. Your nerve biofeedback is diminished, so it feels like after you’ve moved from your leg falling asleep. Eventually muscle memory will take over and you can learn to use your extremity with little feeling. My left leg is asleep all the time, but I can drive my vehicles with zero issue. I have two cars and an crossover that are all manual transmission and have zero issue using a clutch. Truthfully, I only drive stick because it’s perpetual physical therapy for me. I feel my leg would atrophy without it. The implant consists of four components: the actual implant, electrodes that go into the spinal cord, remote to control the implant, and a wireless charger. The implant is inserted into the fat cap between your skin and muscles. It does bulge out under the skin, especially if you become more lean. At the beach or pool, I wear an over shirt to hide the unit and the numerous scars on my back. It has a battery that needs charged every couple months. The battery charger is a small hockey puck device that you wrap over the unit to charge it up. It uses beeps to align it and let you when it’s done charging. The remote is a garage door opener looking device that can change the level of stimulation, programs, frequency, et cetera. The implant will need replacement after 7-10 years, since it is a battery operated unit. I had my surgery in 2014, but my original unit is still there. It has caveats. Metal detectors are problematic. I have a medical card to carry when that becomes an issue. TSA can be troublesome. The charger needs to stay wrapped around you for many hours to charge up. This also can be…….an issue….. with security. There was an unpleasant experience I had with a bank security guard a few years back, but I’ve explained that elsewhere.
I damaged L4-L5 a year ago and my left leg gives out at times still. Numb around the knee when I walk it “slips” in a way. When I use muscle at the leg, no issues. Only when I walk. Crazy how much the spine does for us
You know, with all the crap we have going on in the world right now, to see the opposite side of human creativity, innovation and capacity to create a better world for everyone, brings a tear to my eye. What a wonderful project.
For few months now I've been researching about this treatment, Trying to get myself into trials and there is similar like this in my home country as well, This gives me hope to walk again, To be independent, Most importantly to be treated equally and to be treated well.
I was super happy to listen to this video. It saddens me that you and so many others cannot have the accessibility and respect you need to have an indipendent and dignified life. I hope you will walk again soon thanks to this research, best of luck!
This was so inspiring to hear. It's a simple thing: sending correct intensity of electric signals to correct muscles, but the bio-engineering involved needs to be sooo accurate, it's an amazing feat the team was able to achieve this. Hopefully this would be done in future through skin and not invasive spinal cord surgery. Hats off to the researchers working on this, thank you ♥️
Something like this was impossible 10 years ago because we did not had neural nets cappable to "develop" the necesary algorithm & the 3D spatial simulation in order to NOT having to solve this issues through trial & error with living humans. Perhaps the 3rd Reich could have "disposed" enough "test samples" to interpolate the correct locations for the implants, the intensity of the signals & the correct sequences [we are talking of hundreds or thousands of "unsucessfull" tries that would lead to death (or even worse) results]; in any other place it would be a no_no imposed by the local ethics_bureocracy.
I had a back injury due and was paralyzed for months and slowly started to walk afterwards. I know it can only go so far, but, having the mentality that you will heal along with nutrition and any kind of exercise will stimulate your body to heal.
My takeaway, "The ability to walk is a previlege that we should be thankful for, every day of our lives". Thanks for another great edutaining video, Dagogo.
As a PM&R physician I treated spinal cord injuries on a regular basis. It's hard to comprehend what is lost with a complete spinal cord injury. Bowel, bladder, sexual function, walking, standing, getting up, lying down...so much of what we all do without even a thought is completely gone. Then there's bed sores, skin infections, bladder and kidney infections, bowel impactions and so on. In training back in the 1990's these technologies were only a very, very distant dream. To see this happening now I am deeply moved for the real hope that lies in the near future. Just wow.
I am not paralyzed, but seeing the advancements in medical tech trully makes me happy. It is good to see people who lost a vital part to be able to regain it in some form. I work in IT and I think the next 20 years are going to be big.
I see a Coldfusion notification, I come running..😁.. Don't know why I feel so good I'm Here so early.. Keep churning out great content Dagogo.. With love from Nigeria!
Yes yes yes. After watching what's happening elsewhere in Europe this reminds me that we are incredibly advanced beings and not just barbaric animals. Great news. Great video.
@ uiop uiop I think he refers to the destruction Putin engages in as contrast to serving others, creating and learning positive engagement like these scientists. He does not refer to Russian citizens. This is my understanding of his coment.

Very cool! The general concept of essentially "recording" the brain's signals above the injury and "replaying" them below the injury (a bypass of sorts) is decades old, so it's awesome to see the engineering side finally catch up. This is really great news!
this is insane. I thought we were still 20 years away from this technology. It's still portrayed in sci-fi movies as sci-fi today. The applications of predictive models in creative ways keep blowing my mind. I wish to work in that field one day.
Feels good to hear a feel-good story. Wishing these men all the best and hopefully these implants are able to work with them for the rest of their life and start helping others as well!
I've been keeping an eye on developments in this field, the huge leaps that seem to have been made in the past 10 years. My nephew was born with spina bifida and I hope that some day this technology will be of some use for him and other people with spina bifida as well.
I am just blown away by the medical/scientific advances in this area. I remember as a child learning that if you broke your spine you were paralyzed and that was it. There was no hope. I know it is not solved but like all technologies this is only going to get better and better. So impressive.
I absolutely love all your content and how much it has grown since its early start. I would often have your videos playing at a Sears I worked at and customers as co workers loved it! You show all sides of technology but this is an example of how it can improve the lives of people! Keep the great work!
Hi Dagogo, thanks so much for reporting about this topic! I am spinal cord injured myself. It' s not the first time I hear from new developments in this area. However I do have a complaint about it. As you mentioned in this video, this treatments focus on recent spinal cord injured persons. I can imagine that there are good medical reasons to do so. Nevertheless longer spinal cord injured people like myself do deteriorate physically over the years and I think it would be great to offer a solution for us too and not focus solely on new injured patients. If not, some day it might be too late. Anyhow thanks for your interesting videos, I' m a big fan of yours!
Check the findings of Dr. Miguel Nicolelis and the Walk Again Consortium. Here are some info: ruclips.net/video/8tZ4G7H_Row/видео.html or you can get a more in-depth perspective by watching this one: ruclips.net/video/dCF6tVsW4mM/видео.html
I'm actually researching something similar to this but using magnetic fields to activate the nerves instead of electricity as it generates less heat and has less spillover to cutaneous nerves. It's still in early days as we are working on the proper frequencies but glad to see these ideas being spread!
It's stuff like this that made me give up motorcycles. After my last accident, 13 years ago, I low-sided on an reducing radius, highway on-ramp and managed to walk way away with relatively minor injuries. Never stepped on a motorcycle after that. I'm glad this kind of technology is being trialed and will come to market in the future which will help all the paralyzed people out there.
This is incredible. Much much respect to the scientists who must have put in a tremendous amount of time, effort and brains to achieve this feat. Very inspiring and gives us hope for the future of humanity.
hi friends, I have a spine surgery. my injury looks like the image from the 3:00 min mark in the video but but worse, you can see in my injury that the nerve is almost totally interrupted and I can not walk. but after my surgery and and I woke up they made me walk quickly and despite the pain I was able to walk perfectly. The only thing you didn't talk about in the video was the cost of the surgery for me it was very expensive even though I have health insurance it cost me a lot.
I really enjoy your content. If and when I watch videos it's to pass time. Or chill out for a bit. However when I see a cold fusion notification I actually look forward to it.
finally. stuff like this was promised back in the 60's. FDA makes tons of viable treatments prohibitively expensive, take long, and both make it less attractive to potential entrepreneurs.
I cant recall the last time something has made me as happy as this video has. Genuinely, seeing the men in the videos walk again is just so goddamn nice.
I have great respect for everyone in this video, especially the men who have to will to get up every day and push the limits of their cababilities. Most impressive is their gratitude for even the smallest gains. That's the true human spirit.
I'm a C5 complete quad, post-injury 19 years. I wonder if there's a level they stop at? Age that they stop at? This could possibly be life-changing for myself and others who qualify. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. I plan on contacting the appropriate people to find out more info. The headline states ''COMPLETELY'' paralyzed which makes me think between C1-C3, not a T-level or lower level spinal injury which appears to be the level of the man in the video as it seems that he has full upper body movement and strength which would make a huge difference over a higher level quad..
They are probably gathering data like mad on this. If they see neurons growing from the stimulation, they probably switch focus towards stem cells, neurotophins and temporary implant/skin patches. It's much easier to see neuron growth go from 1mm/year to 1.5mm/year, than from 0mm/year to 0.01mm/year, so any boost in growth from the implant will help them find the correct growth stimuli much easier and faster. Either way, this most likely unlocks a bunch of progress in the field. Paraplegics will probably both have the means and the will to pay out the nose for really good treatments for this, so it's going to happen. And then it will absolutely bring solutions for quadriplegics and tetraplegics as well. I have no idea how long it will take though. I don't work in the field, it's just some thoughts.
I think he's referring to "complete" vs "incomplete" SCI. Complete being the cord has been completely severed, incomplete being partially or very damaged, regardless of level 👍

Can you describe your accident and how you got injured? Did your back hit something when you fell?
Yes. I was on my motorcycle when someone ran a stop sign. He pulled out in front of me. My bike hit his front fender, and I was pulled under the truck. My lumbar area already had degraded from genetics and previous injuries. But the accident tore the disc completely. My vertebrae were grinding bone on bone, pinching nerves with severe pain.

Absolutely. First, you need a trial run. Stimulator surgery is not for everyone. The varying amounts of nerve damage from person to person means you may not benefit from it. You’ll be fitted with temporary wires going into the spine with a bulky exterior unit to try. If it works, you’ll get the semi-permanent one.

The headline states ''COMPLETELY'' paralyzed which makes me think between C1-C3, not a T-level or lower level spinal injury which appears to be the level of the man in the video as it seems that he has full upper body movement and strength which would make a huge difference over a higher level quad..
They are probably gathering data like mad on this. If they see neurons growing from the stimulation, they probably switch focus towards stem cells, neurotophins and temporary implant/skin patches. It's much easier to see neuron growth go from 1mm/year to 1.5mm/year, than from 0mm/year to 0.01mm/year, so any boost in growth from the implant will help them find the correct growth stimuli much easier and faster.
Either way, this most likely unlocks a bunch of progress in the field. Paraplegics will probably both have the means and the will to pay out the nose for really good treatments for this, so it's going to happen. And then it will absolutely bring solutions for quadriplegics and tetraplegics as well. I have no idea how long it will take though.
I don't work in the field, it's just some thoughts.
In the video it says that it's for lumbar injuries, below the lungs
I think he's referring to "complete" vs "incomplete" SCI. Complete being the cord has been completely severed, incomplete being partially or very damaged, regardless of level 👍
Where you get all this information and compile it together to form a beautiful source of content for inspiration, informative, life-changing experience is remarkable and amazing.... whoever is leaking such content to you, kudos to them as well
It's pretty simple. Over the years I've just built up pretty solid channels of information outlets. One good trick is to think of twitter as an information network and follow the right organisations/ people accordingly. It gives you an edge in finding out the most interesting stuff happening around the world.
@@ColdFusion this is the media news I love to get my daily "fix" from not all this b...s... That's forced down our throats... Kudos to you brother, keep up the good work 💪😎😎👍
@@ColdFusion I imagine you also have to filter through all the bad information sources, otherwise you would get overwhelmed by the worst internet has to offer.
Not even paralyzed, but I am in tears imagining the hope that someone who is will be able to walk again.
Haha I work in the spinal cord stimulator space. Excited to watch this video.
Major kudos to the team that made it possible for paraplegics to walk again! Incredible achievement 👏

This is amazing I've been paralyzed since March 3rd of 2000 I gave up all hope of walking again but this really does make me feel like perhaps maybe one day I will walk again
I just shared this with my nephew who is paralyzed from the waist down, parachuting accident.
These scientific miracles are so astonishing. Thank you for all your hard work to provide such positive content.
Great video, i really hope this tech actually is available across the world once it’s completed it’s testing phases.
Togogo, thank you for your amazing content.
This is insane! I have always wondered when we would reach this point in medical sciences, and if I would live to see the day.
Awesome progress.
This is awesome!!
Thanks for this heart-warming video!
Simply amazing.
I forgot how it feels to be proud for being human, thanks for reminding me.
This is amazing , best video yet.
my heart needed this video ❤ hope for so many people who previously had to give up their future plans!

Thanks!
Freedom to do what you want is very important. Health is very important.
2:30 beautiful animation😍
Dagogo I watch all your videos. SInce my sister is disabled for life with Cerebral Palsy this was so emotional for me. I know that this is a different problem but I have hope that someday cerebral issues can be addressed as well.
I don't have any form of spinal issues but seeing this makes me so unexplainably happy
Great episode! I sure hope many others can be helped like this fellow was!
