Arrange enough breath, Lame People can do anything


Paralyzed does not mean you can not do anything. As long as men can breathe paralyzed can do anything you do not still, even with blowing air only.

Modern technology can change the self come to the electrical signals can move him to a wheelchair, and even the cursor on the computer.

These techniques take advantage of the soft tissue in the palate, which is controlled by the cranial nerves (brain). This nerve is the most protection, to continue to work in spite of a very severe injury.

In addition to communicate with the palate, is also associated with the nerve itself with the eyelid so that it can control the flash. For this reason, most people still suffering total paralysis invitation to connect by blinking his eyes.

By exploiting the presence of these nerves, a professor of neurobiology, named Noam Sobel Weizmann Institute of Technology is designed to help people with paralysis. Blowing people controlled through the palate, and then captured by the sensors are transmitted to a device electrically.

Ninemsn quoted on Tuesday (june 27, 2010), and the device is in the form of small kanula in the form of hose on the tank of oxygen. Placed in front of the nostrils, and then connected to a pressure sensor that works to change the self to come to electrical signals.

When tested on women who was paralyzed by a stroke in the seven months before the tool is working correctly. Within three weeks, they can use to write on the computer.

Conducted tests on a man suffering paralysis for 18 years, and can only communicate with the flash of the eye. Need to adjust only for 20 minutes, he can use this tool to write his name.

Meanwhile, 10 healthy people a chance to try this tool can move in a wheelchair through a maze with the remote control (remote control). This can be done the same thing by male patients 30 years), who was paralyzed from the neck down six years ago.

Sobel, said the professor, to breathe now control equipment is still in development stage. If it can be mass-produced, he estimates it would be very affordable price that between 10-20 U.S. dollars.
