Spinal cord injury leads to severe locomotor deficits or even complete leg paralysis. However, the latest research shows that targeted neurotechnology restores walking in humans with spinal cord injury.

Furthermore, the new technologies enabled voluntary control of walking in individuals who had sustained a spinal cord injury more than four years ago and presented with permanent motor deficits or complete paralysis despite extensive rehabilitation.

Please assess to the full research article from Nature Vol 563 1 Nov 2018 below if you want to know more information about the target neurotechnology.
