Paralysis hope
« on: January 19, 2010, 04:52:21 pm »
Hi all,

For those with paralysis there appears to be some new technical advances on the drawing board. I must say that I am fortunate to not have this awful affliction but this study seems to be heading in the right direction.

The link below is to the morning newspaper in Sydney. If the link doesn't work it's www.smh.com.au. Then scroll down to the article titled "Discovery offers hope to paralysis victims"
