Researchers use new method to help paralyzed patients walk again

The video discusses the use of an epidural stimulator implanted over the lower spinal cord to help paralyzed patients. While the device does not move the legs, it stimulates neurons and nerves to receive signals that the brain used to send before paralysis. Patients undergo intensive physical therapy and electrical stimulation to relearn movement. A study participant reported improvements in body functions like bladder control and muscle mass.
