Is there hope for paralyzed people to walk again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The practical application of what is being done in hearing, vision, thought controlling a ''bionic'' device to turn, push etc. Is marvelous. I believe a young paralyzed woman completed a marathon just last week. The movement suit was head to toe. The length of time pales in comparison to this new ability.
