  • Comment: More specifically, biographies about people notable only for one event are usually accepted since the topic could be framed better as an event rather than a biography.
    If the subject is also notable for her paracanoeing, it would need to be shown by independent sources. Ca talk to me! 15:08, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Michel Roccati (born 26 June 1991) is an Italian-German Athlete and Entrepreneur who became the first person to regain mobility in his legs and walk following a complete spinal cord injury.[1][2]

Biography

[edit]

In 2017, after a motorbike accident, Roccati had a complete spinal cord injury.[3] In 2020, he took part to an innovative experimental biomedical clinical trial called “Stimo” led by Jocelyne Bloch and Grégoire Courtine. After the surgery, he gradually gained the control of his lower limbs and started to use his legs again.[4][5][6][7][8]

Sport achievements

[edit]

In 2023, Roccati became the Italian champion of paracanoe[9][10][11][12].[13][non-primary source needed]

In 2022, Roccati received the Guinness World Record for the farthest distance (500 m - 1,640 ft) walked by a person with total sensorimotor paralysis to their lower body[14]
