An implantable neuroprosthesis for standing and walking in paraplegia: 5-year patient follow-up J. Neural Eng. 3, 2006, 268-275   David Guiraud et al. We present the results of a 5-year patient follow-up after implantation of an original neuroprosthesis. The system is able to stimulate both epimysial and neural electrodes in such a way that the complete flexor–extensor chain of the lower limb can be activated without using the withdrawal reflex.
