Health Freedom Minute April 24, 2014

Exciting New Hope for Paraplegics A new study gives paraplegics hope that they may again move. A combination of extensive physical therapy and electrical stimulation helped three men with paraplegia to voluntarily wiggle their toes and ankles, flex their legs and stand independently for moments at a time. According to The Wall Street Journal, the study was reported in the medical journal called Brain. That said, the researchers aren’t sure how or if the spinal cord could respond to sustained stimulation. Nevertheless, it means that what was thought to be permanently gone, isn’t necessarily so. If something major can be done, it’s likely years away. But stay tuned. The impossible may someday be possible. “Study Offers Paraplegics Hope,” Joseph Walker, The Wall Street Journal, April 8, 2014.
