Paraplegic patients who still have some active nerve endings in their legs can find major improvements with a new therapy. During rehabilitation on a bicycle, special pads send electrical pulses that cause neurons to grow and create new nerves. The specially-fitted bicycle can be used at home, and has helped patients regain function years after an injury.

I think this is very interesting knowing tha a paraplegic patient can have a chance to walk again. The major thing I would have never thought possible was how scientists can recreate nerves. This can be a life changing rehabiliation for some people by making the paralyzed walk again. If I were ever to be paralyzed i woul;d definitely want to be a candidate for this treatment. I think this is a great new way to fix broken lives.
