Professional Achievements

• LIFE FELLOW of the IEEE since 2003
• Fellow of the IEEE, since 1985
• Invention & Development of 1st FDA-approved & 1st (& only) Commercial Electrical Stimulation System, the PARASTEP, that allows complete thoracic-level Paraplegic to ambulate (1500 ft average, after completing training) independently -See VIDEO & Patents List in PERSONAL PAGES of D. Graupe. Parastep in now Medicare & Medicaid reimbursable. Also founding of Sigmedics Inc. for commercializing that System
