Yes, as far as I know.
The other amazing breakthrough has been in Japan. The Japanese doctors
have fitted an SCI survivor with a metal cyborg-like frame that allows
the person to walk for short periods of time. The breakthrough they
didn't count on is that the body and the brain are relearning how to
work together for the person to walk and the person who is testing the
unit is able to walk longer and longer periods of time and the doctors
think with this type of therapy it may be possible to retrain the body
how to walk again without the apparatus. My husband saw a documentary on
this in the past few weeks on TV.
