A neuroprosthetic robotic suit controlled by brain signals has allowed a paralysed man walk again for the first time, according to new research published in The Lancet Neurology.

The 28-year-old patient has tetraplegia resulting from a spinal cord injury that stops the nervous system from moving all four limbs. Doctors and physicians from Clinatec, a biomedical research lab at the University of Grenoble, France, built an exoskeleton device for the man to wear.
