Modern medicine may be close to finding ways to help individuals with spinal cord injuries regain what has been lost. By using new technology, doctors and researchers can help individuals with paralysis regain some independence. Scientists are claiming that The Big Idea, an epidural stimulator, can help people with spinal cord injuries regain some movement of the legs and other body functions. Epidural simulators, typically used to treat pain conditions, are implanted devices that send electrical signals to the spinal cord.
