Imagine an accident. A paralyzed person, because of a damaged spinal cord. And then suddenly, when his legs no longer met, he stands up and starts walking again ... This idea still seemed completely unrealistic until recently. However, researchers were able to make paralyzed rats walk again voluntarily thanks to electrical stimulation! Their brain can truly become again the conductor of the march. Reseachers now hope to soon make the first human trials, also a first patient is already preparing.
