Researchers from the Mayo Clinic announced that they have successfully replicated an earlier study that used spinal cord electrical stimulation to help an individual intentionally move his paralyzed legs. The latest success, reported in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, was achieved in less than 2 weeks after beginning the stimulation program, and included 22 weeks of extensive physical therapy beforehand. Authors of the study include Meegan Van Straaten, PT, and Megan Gill, DPT.
