Scientists to attempt repairing damaged human spinal cords

The video discusses the challenges faced by patients with bruised or mildly damaged spines, who have limited leg movement and cannot stand or walk independently. Scientists aim to resuscitate the damaged spinal nerves using electrical stimulation, allowing brain signals to pass through the healthy spine to the damaged area. Patients undergo physical therapy during this process, with the goal of eventually walking with a walker or independently.

What is the goal of physical therapy for patients undergoing spinal recovery?

What are the expected outcomes for patients after undergoing treatment for spinal damage?
