Long thought to be science-fiction, researchers at University of Louisville have documented restoring brain-to-spine connectivity after a complete spinal cord injury in four patients.
Hi @Kelly Thomas.I am also suffering from sci and my injury actually pretty worst. D7 fracture with complete transaction of Spinal cord..I want to enroll myself for this clinical trial. I would like to know about the procedure for the same..plz reply me if possible
I would like know that what type of spinal cord injury Kelly was having.. Was it complete SCI with no motory power and no sensation below the level of injury?.. Or she was having any of these left over? My sister is also suffering from SCI. Hoping n waiting for the right reply.

Would similar physio &epidural work for elderly who become Berglund after hospital stay and contracting infection...which left them like paraplegic. My mum has feelings/ sensation in her legs Andreas to stimulation like title of proclaiming but rarely moves her feet or legs since coming out of hospital. She can no longer sit upright without support of stand on her man-made even with help. I feel let down by the Health system in U.I that seem to allow elderly patients to simply deteriorate further without trying to help at all. Shsme. Can anyone advise what I can do to help my mum walk again or at least regain strength so s h e can sit upright unsupported and eventually stand on her own ? Ems/ nerve stimulation? Physio ? My mum is I. Her 70s. Much appreciatex. K
It's possible but that totally depends on the completeness of the injury. I personally have a L1 ASIA A (complete) injury and cannot stand or move much below my upper thigh. There are however plenty of people I met in rehabilitation with similar injuries e.g. lower thoracic and upper to lower lumbar injuries, who were incomplete and could walk short to moderate distances. Some could walk on their own with a cane and others required support. Hope that helps.
