MICHAEL Schumacher is reportedly showing such signs of improvement at a Swiss rehabilitation clinic, like fluttering his eyelids to communicate, that he could be allowed home by the end of August.

The seven-time Formula One champion was recently moved from a hospital in Grenoble, France to a Lausanne clinic to be nearer his Swiss home as he recovers from his devastating injuries from a skiing accident late last year.

It’s believed that while Schumacher remains paralysed he is able to answer questions from his family by fluttering his eyelids.

Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick reported: “There are signs that Michael will leave the clinic soon and be cared for at home.”

Doctors are hopeful Schumacher will soon be able to sit up in an advanced wheelchair that he’ll operate by using his mouth.

Croatian media, meanwhile, have reported that people close to Schumacher have reached out to two Croatian doctors who’ve developed a revolutionary microchip implanting technique.

Doctors Darko Chudy and Vedran Deletis have come up with a microchip designed to help patients walk and again after having spent extended time in a coma.

“We’ve had a case with Croat schoolboy and he started to walk after two months,” Doctor Darko Chudy told local media.

Schumacher woke from a medically induced coma last month after sustaining life-threatening injuries when he hit his head on rocks while skiing near the French resort of Meribel on December 29.
