spine

No matter where you go, you probably see people leaning over looking at their cellphones. Chances are, you’ve seen it in your own house. Hey, you might even do it yourself.

Researchers in Brazil are hard at work on the Walk Again Project, which retrains the brain of someone who have suffered a spinal injury to help them regain mobility. This is done through “retraining,” accomplished by interacting with a robot.
Recent research found that those who had lost mobility were able to regain some of it and some of their lost sensation, however, none of the participants were able to fully support themselves on their legs after the study.
