Use of electrical stimulation to restore standing in paraplegics with longterm denervated degenerated muscles ddm

Objetivo

A novel clinical rehabilitation method for patients suffering from long-term flaccid paraplegia (denervated degenerated muscles - DDM) with no chance of recovery of the nervous system will be developed. It will restore their muscle fibres (and mass), muscle function (tetanic contractions, weight bearing) and thus their ability to rise ('standing up') and maintain a standing posture ('standing'). Based on the results of animal experiments on rabbit and pig and initial clinical trials the associated technology will be developed and an application for modification of EU-standards is planned. It will provide European industry with a novel product. The method addresses the needs of about 100 patients per million EU inhabitants.
