Scientists at the Universital Clinic in Lausanne (Centre hospitalier universitaire Vaudois-CHUV) accomplished outstanding research in the field of epidural electrical stimulation (EES). They developed a newly designed stimulation system existing out of 16 electrodes targeting the dorsal roots of lumbosacral segments to restore leg- and trunk movement in patients with severe spinal cord injury and paralysis. Foundation to this success is a new computational framework allowing an optimal placement of electrodes during neurosurgery as well as a newly developed software supporting the rapid configuration of activity-specific stimulation programs that reproduce the natural activation of motor neurons underlying each activity.
