Bern, Sept 9 (IBNS): Formula One legend Michael Schumacher, who had a skiing accident last year, has left a Swiss hospital to continue his recovery at home, his spokesperson said.

"Henceforth, Michael's rehabilitation will take place at home," his spokesperson Sabine Kehm said.

Kehm said the legendary sportsman made progress in his health.

"Considering the severe injuries he suffered, progress has been made in the past weeks and months. There is still, however, a long and difficult road ahead," Kehm stated.

Schumacher was in hospital since December last.

After he was out of coma on June 16, Schumacher left the hospital in Grenoble.

On Dec 29 last year, while skiing in Meribel in France, Schumacher fell and hit his head on a rock.

Despite wearing a helmet, he sustained serious injuries and was airlifted off the mountain by helicopter.

Doctors undertook two surgeries to remove bleeding and reduce pressure on his brain. He was put into a medically induced coma at the University Hospital of Grenoble, where doctors subsequently assessed him to be in critical but stable condition.

At the end of January, doctors began to reduce his sedation to begin the process of waking him from his coma.

His family, including his father, brother, wife, children and his former team principals Jean Todt and Ross Brawn had been visiting the hospital.

The seven time German world champion has retired from Formula One for the second time in 2012.
