Instrument Invented by Indian to help Paralytic Patients

Gaurav Sharma has evolved an instrument that "connects" the brain to the limbs and hence, acts like a spinal cord. The paralytic patients' brain can send message to the limbs and thus, this instrument acts like a "connector."

Gaurav Sharma is from Meerut in UP and works at the Battelle Memorial Institute in Ohio State University. He has been working to develop a technological "connector" for the paralytic patients that helps them to move their limbs.

In paralytic patients, the spinal cord gets damaged and hence, can't transmit messages from the brain to the limbs. This results in the loss of limb movement.

Gaurav Sharma has evolved an instrument that "connects the brain to the limbs and hence, acts like a spinal cord. The paralytic patients' brain can send message to the limbs and thus, this instrument acts like a "connector." The patients can move their limbs when they receive messages through this connector. The process is slow, but very helpful for the paralytic patients.

Gaurav Sharma has shown how technology can be used to help immobile patients. This has brought a ray of hope to those patients who have become immobile because of paralytic stroke.
