Implants Allow People with Paralysis to Walk Again

An implant on an Italian man's severed spine is allowing him to walk again. It's one of many scientific advancements helping people with paralysis.

“I stand up, walk where I want to. I can walk the stairs. It’s almost a normal life,” the Italian man said. “I used to box, run, and do fitness training in the gym. But after the accident, I could not do the things that I loved to do, but I did not let my mood go down. I never stopped my rehabilitation. I wanted to solve this problem.”
